You might think that 16 megabits per second is pretty fast for an inflight wifi connection. But Viasat wants its business aviation connectivity customers to have more than that. The company officially removed speed caps from its Ka-band contracts this week, allowing aircraft owners to access whatever is available in the network, whatever the hardware and the link budget can support.
Our hope is to change the conversation for people having to worry about peak speeds. They’re welcome to do speed tests if they want but our hope is that people don’t feel the need to do a speed test because it’s doing everything they want to do on the aircraft. It’s giving them that passenger experience that they’re that they’ve hoped for, now they can experience for real.
– James Person, Sr. Director of Business Development and Strategy for Business Aviation
