NBAA News Hour: Inflight Connectivity Beyond the Cabin

In aviation, internet connectivity is often considered one of the most important tools available on a flight. Most airborne bandwidth is reserved for those in the back of the aircraft and the need for internet by the passengers.

The barrier to making the aircraft a true “connected experience” is largely due to limitations on the size of the “pipe” bringing data to and from the aircraft, limiting the situational awareness options for the crew and causing cockpit and ground operations to wait until landing to offload aircraft data, or even critical maintenance information.

Could that be changing? Hear from SmartSky Networks' panel as they discuss what is possible today with:

- True high-capacity bandwidth, ultra-low latency and real-time data flow to and from the aircraft
- Harnessing the power of ADaaS (Aviation Data as a Service) to obtain your data, when and how you want it, and
- What technology will bring to connectivity in the cabin and beyond in the years to come.
