Intelsat goes multi-orbit with OneWeb LEO option for airlines

11 August 2022 By Seth Miller 2 Comments

A mockup of the planned Intelsat ESA for delivering multi-orbit connectivity on OneWeb's LEO constellation as well as GEO satellites

Commercial airlines will soon have another option for in-flight connectivity (IFC) delivered via low earth orbit (LEO) satellites. Intelsat secured a global distribution partnership with OneWeb, allowing for the development of a multi-orbit offering. The partnership builds on Intelsat’s extensive IFC experience and existing geo-stationary (GEO) satellite service, augmented with the OneWeb LEO constellation.

SpaceX secures mobility rights from FCC

1 July 2022 By Seth Miller Leave a Comment

SpaceX can now deliver its satellite-based internet service to “Earth Stations in Motion,” paving the way for the network to go live on airplanes, ships, and other moving vehicles. The FCC ruling is a major step forward for Starlink’s consumer and enterprise services, including plans to activate service on commercial aircraft later this year.

Starlink Scuttlebutt: Skepticism and Support

17 June 2022 By Seth Miller 1 Comment

The Starlink antenna panel is small and light, while promising high speed internet service on airplanes.

Nearly every conversation about in-flight connectivity at Aircraft Interiors Expo 2022 in Hamburg this week includes mention of the SpaceX Starlink offering. Company executives are wandering the show floor carrying an antenna panel that they hope will soon be certified to fly, while airlines and competitors alike debate the unique path the company has chosen for nearly every facet of the offering.
