Air-to-ground (ATG) towers or satellites are used to establish the wireless link between the aircraft and the Internet.Systems for in-flight connectivity employ two different types of technology.
One, unless the aircraft is flying over a wide area with no towers (such as a water body), an onboard antenna picks up signals from the closest tower on the ground, and the connection will stay seamless up to a certain altitude.
The global multi – orbit inflight connectivity market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
Leading satellite communications firms OneWeb and Intelsat have agreed to collaborate on global distribution to offer airlines multi-orbit inflight connectivity solutions.
Airlines with a seamless inflight connection (IFC) solution that offers the greatest available blend of market performance, coverage, and dependability.
With the help of Intelsat’s substantial IFC expertise and current geo-stationary satellite service, the cooperation enables OneWeb to offer innovative low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite services to airlines all over the world.
The outcome provides the aviation industry with a true multi-orbit solution that makes use of both networks’ advantages. Airlines and their customers will be able to enjoy the greatest IFC, without compromise, thanks to Intelsat’s use of multi-orbit capabilities.
Airlines and their customers won’t have to put up with substantial gaps in IFC capacity or coverage, not even in crowded hubs or over vast oceans or polar routes. Passengers will be able to maintain connectivity wherever they are thanks to Intelsat’s seamless management of connectivity.
OneWeb, a satellite operator, has finally chosen a partner to create a new inflight connectivity terminal that will work simultaneously over both the geostationary (GEO) networks that provide passengers with onboard Internet access as well as its own Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Ku-band satellite network, which is being built out.
OneWeb has signed a development deal with SatixFy, a part of SatixFy Ltd, which develops satcom systems, as the winner.OneWeb thinks SatixFy is in a good position to launch its ESMA solution earlier than anticipated.
Given that many aviation industry players, including Hughes Network Systems, which is creating the main module for OneWeb user terminals, believe that electronically steerable antennas are not yet available, this is noteworthy.
