Aircraft cabin inflight connectivity

data communication

Expectations for connectivity are set on the ground. At SmartSky Networks we believe you shouldn’t have to lower your expectations for dependable, immediate, and secure connectivity simply because you are in the air. For the past decade, we’ve been clearing technological hurdles and developing new approaches to solve the inherent challenges of delivering data to and from aircraft inflight. Innovation is Built Into SmartSky Networks DNA: By integrating the best available communication technologies with our exclusive capabilities, we are transforming the entire aviation ecosystem, for passengers, flight crews and ground operations. Patented Beamforming Technology: With SmartSky’s sophisticated antenna technology, instead of multiple aircraft sharing the same connection across a broad area, each aircraft is assigned a secure connection to the network. This results in a consistent and secure connection that supports the entire aircraft ecosystem from cabin to cockpit and operations. Very Low Latency, Real-time Data Flow to AND From the aircraft: Air-to-Ground transmissions are inherently low latency because they are traveling over shorter distances, only from the tower to the plane. Using 60MHz of capacity in the unlicensed spectrum translates to 20x more data capability than other ATG systems. Low latency and a 20x capacity data pipe enables means real-time connectivity for business continuity, live streaming, gaming, large file transfer and staying connected to whatever is most important – including situational awareness and in-flight transfer of maintenance and aircraft performance information.
