ACJ has signed a MoU with Eutelsat OneWeb to improve connectivity in the Airbus Corporate Jets for elite passenger experience and utmost satisfaction while flying.
Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) and Eutelsat OneWeb have inked a Memorandum of Understanding to provide ACJ customers with cutting-edge in-flight connectivity. OneWeb’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation and a specialized electronic flat antenna will make this feasible. Through their partnership with Eutelsat OneWeb, ACJ offers its passengers onboard ACJ Connect Link the best possible satellite connectivity experience.
The NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE) in Las Vegas was the location of the signature.
Regis Broutee, VP of ACJ Services & Customer Support said, “Through this ground-breaking agreement, ACJ is ensuring that current and future discerning owners and passengers will experience unrivaled high-speed internet in the air, no matter where they are flying.”
The unique connectivity solution for the satellite in the airplane focuses on enhancing the passenger experience. The objective is to make passengers feel at home with the bandwidth connectivity and latency that is ten times faster than the current bandwidth Ka/Ku solutions allowing multiple device connectivity with video conferences, high quality, and live TV streaming. The flat antenna will also allow drag reduction
Jason Sperry, Head of Business Aviation at Eutelsat OneWeb said, “The low latency and higher speed that is inherent in OneWeb’s latest generation Low Earth Orbit network, will facilitate a broad range of applications for passenger productivity and entertainment that to date have been out of reach while inflight.”
