October 16, 2018 Viasat Satisfies the Need for Speed
For NBAA 2018 attendees disappointed with the expensive and low-bandwidth Wi-Fi service at the convention center, a visit to the Viasat booth (1254) could prove highly satisfying. Viasat is demonstrating its Ka-band satcom network at the show, and visitors can experience access speeds of up to 100 Mbps via the company’s ViaSat-2 satellite.
Viasat has signed an exclusive distributor agreement with StandardAero, under which the maintenance and avionics service company will offer Viasat satcom packages for the Bombardier Global Express, XRS, 5000, and 6000.
StandardAero will offer Viasat’s Global Aero Terminal 5510 for satcom service provided by the ViaSat-1, ViaSat-2, and European Ka-band satellite platforms. The 5510 system is also compatible with the upcoming ViaSat-3 ultra-high-capacity satellite platform, and no hardware upgrades to the 5510 will be needed to connect to the ViaSat-3 network.
