Introduction to In-Flight Connectivity
In recent years, the demand for in-flight connectivity has skyrocketed. With more people wanting to stay connected while they travel, airlines have had to adapt to meet this need. One company at the forefront of this revolution is SES, a leading satellite communications provider. In this blog post, we'll explore how SES is working with Boeing and Japan Airlines to take in-flight connectivity to new heights.
Partnership with Boeing
SES has teamed up with Boeing to provide high-speed, reliable connectivity to airlines around the world. This partnership has enabled the development of advanced satellite-based systems that can provide fast and efficient internet access to passengers while in flight. The technology uses a combination of satellite and cellular networks to provide seamless connectivity, even at 30,000 feet.
Japan Airlines Collaboration
SES has also collaborated with Japan Airlines to bring high-speed internet to its passengers. The airline has installed SES's satellite-based system on its aircraft, allowing passengers to stay connected while they travel. This collaboration has not only improved the passenger experience but has also enabled Japan Airlines to stay ahead of the competition in the highly competitive airline industry.
