Eutelsat Air Access allows airlines to
provide in flight broadband connectivity to
their passengers.
KEY FEATURES
AIRLINES NEED KA-BAND TODAY
→ Explosion in demand for in-flight
broadband WiFi
→ Driven by new devices: laptops,
smartphones, tablets…
Eutelsat Air Access is deployed on the
KA-SAT high throughput satellite which
delivers a total capacity of 90 Gbps and uses
ViaSat SurfBeam II ® technology, the most
advanced and competitive system available
for airborne connectivity using the Ka-band.
→ Strong demand for Medium-Haul
Aircraft, especially A320, B737 and
E190 family
With the Eutelsat Air Access connectivity
solution, airlines can provide passengers
today with top-quality Internet access and
videostreaming on tablets, smartphones
and laptops.
Eutelsat Air Acess covers Europe and
North Africa and will be expanded to other
Eutelsat’s Ka-band HTS satellites.
Roaming agreement with ViaSat to cover
North America with a complementary
coverage over North Atlantic expected 2016.
