Viasat Inc. announced an expanded relationship with long-time partner Collins Aerospace ARINCDirect ("Collins Aerospace") to offer Viasat's Ka-band in-flight connectivity (IFC) system for mid- and large-cabin business aircraft. Under the new agreement, Viasat's Ka-band in-flight connectivity system is available as a standalone service or bundled with other ARINCDirect solutions, offering Collins Aerospace customers a connectivity option that will benefit them in a variety of ways, including: High speed connectivity. Viasat's Ka-band IFC solution in ARINCDirect's offering will provide high-speed connectivity from takeoff to touchdown—at speeds typically greater than 20 Mbps. This level of connectivity enables business jet passengers to do the same connected activities in the air as they do on the ground: streaming video, music and TV, video calls, browsing, email, VPN and more. Lightweight hardware and more capacity. Viasat's "no speed limits" Ka-band solution is made possible by the Company's high-capacity satellite network combined with Viasat's compact and lightweight hardware. Together they deliver the global bandwidth required to meet the increasing demand for faster connectivity speeds to use data-rich applications while in-flight. Forward-compatibility will allow customers to install the Viasat shipset and subscribe to a Viasat service package, with the ability to access additional satellite capacity and expanded coverage from Viasat in the future. Viasat's growing satellite network. The Viasat Global Aero Terminal 5510 Ka-band terminal communicates with Viasat'sViaSat-1, ViaSat-2 and KA-SAT satellite platforms for connectivity across North and Central America, the Caribbean, the North Atlantic, and Europe, and is expected to be forward-compatible with Viasat's next-generation global satellite system, ViaSat-3.
