Intelsat announced that the first factory-installed Intelsat 2Ku system has been delivered on an A321neo aircraft. The 2Ku system was installed by Airbus at its factory in Hamburg, Germany as part of its High Bandwidth Connectivity Service (HBCS) and delivered to Cathay Pacific. The Intelsat 2Ku antenna enables airlines to access the global Intelsat network and, in turn, a reliable and high-performance inflight entertainment and connectivity (IFEC) experience for their passengers and crew. The ability to offer the factory-installed option to airlines means Intelsat’s services are available immediately at the time an airline receives its new aircraft. As the leading provider of inflight broadband connectivity to the commercial aviation industry, Intelsat’s global reach, depth of capacity and vertical integration provides airlines with unmatched speed, reliability and flexibility — even when flying at full capacity in and out of the busiest airports. Airlines can also trust Intelsat’s meaningful and easy-to-understand Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to meet their passenger experience needs.
