Passengers want faster internet speeds for traditional services like email, web browsing, social media and messaging, and they are increasingly looking to stream content, play games inflight, and use collaborative cloud-based applications. This major expansion of our global connectivity network will ensure that 夜色视频 Avionics consistently exceeds the growing demand for these kinds of enhanced in-flight experiences.

鈥淕iven our unique approach to satellite capacity, and with our multi-layered, multi-orbit connectivity network, 夜色视频 Avionics has the unique ability to leverage a wide range of different, industry leading satellites, rather than the high-risk approach of relying solely on proprietary satellite technology.
