Testing the next step for LEO-based IFC

13 June 2023 By Seth Miller Leave a Comment

The new Stellar Blu ESA atop Intelsat's CRJ-700 test aircraft

On Monday afternoon a CRJ700 landed at Rocky Mountain Metro Airport near Broomfield, Colorado after more than four hours en route from Portland, Maine. Fortunately, no passengers found themselves enduring the “comfort” of that long ride in a little jet. But, thanks to the work happening on board, millions of travelers annually will soon have access to a better inflight Wi-Fi experience.

Delta retires streaming entertainment option

31 March 2023 By Jason Rabinowitz 20 Comments

For years Delta Air Lines highlighted its on-board content library as a valuable part of the inflight entertainment offering. Turns out scant few passengers streamed anything on shorter flights, however, and now the carrier is shedding that cost.

The business side of Orbit's 12

As multiple vendors vie for a slice of the regional jet connectivity refresh in the North America Orbit Communication Systems is taking an arguably more well-rounded approach. The company is now pitching its AirTRx family of parabolic antennae as “the ultimate solution for regional jets, where space is limited.”

Removing inflight connectivity friction, and maybe creating another problem along the way

13 March 2023 By Seth Miller Leave a Comment

Step on board a plane flying with the SpaceX Starlink satellite network and you’re online immdiately. There’s no capture portal, no extra clicks. And that approach may also limit Starlink’s reach into the market, in a somewhat unexpected way.
