5G network now with a planned launch in 2021.
Viasat recently announced it removed internet speed limits delivered to the aircraft across all of its business aviation
Ka-band service plans and is also currently designing it's ViaSat-3
ultra-high capacity satellite system - a constellation of three
additional satellites that will cover the world and offer the most
Ka-band capacity for business aviation use, Person said.
And earlier this year, SD announced the launch of the SD Plane
Simple antenna - moving the company into manufacturing the
equipment needed to connect the cabin to the airtime service
providers - with the Ku-band variant expected to be available
for Supplemental Type Certificate in early 2021, followed by the
Ka-band version later that year.
