Southwest Airlines chooses Viasat for in-flight Wi-Fi

摘要

Viasat, Inc., a global communications company, announced Southwest Airlines Co. selected the Company's next generation Ka-band satellite in-flight connectivity (IFC) system to be factory-installed on all new aircraft deliveries, starting this fall. By selecting Viasat's industry-leading solution for its new aircraft, Southwest Airlines will provide customers enhanced internet capabilities while onboard, including the ability to stream content and entertainment, watch live television, and access social media platforms and productivity applications on any internet-ready device, gate-to-gate. Streaming-capable Wi-Fi requires a fast and robust data connection -especially to deliver high quality service on all connected devices while in-flight, regardless of how many passengers are using the system.
