Aero Mobile Terminal 5230
Ka-band Satellite Broadband for Large Cabin Aircraft
HIGH-SPEED INTERNET ACCESS
FOR IN-FLIGHT CONNECTIVITY
GROWING, CHANGING SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS
Broadband connectivity at 35,000 feet is growing in several
dimensions. More aircraft are installing onboard broadband
systems, more data is being consumed while in-flight, and the
expectation for service network performance is increasing.
Only ViaSat, by leveraging our leadership in Ka-band satellite
technology, is poised to respond to the simultaneous growth
in mobile devices and bandwidth demanded by passengers.
The ViaSat Aero Mobile Terminal 5230 is an integral part in
bringing high-speed internet service to large cabin and select
long-range business jets. The terminal, comprised of a small
antenna, modem and antenna control unit integrates into the
aircraft’s cabin network and communicates on our network of
ViaSat and partner Ka-band satellites.
HIGHLY-DIFFERENTIATED IN-FLIGHT EXPERIENCE
ViaSat has revolutionized in-flight internet with a highlydifferentiated service that eclipses the speed and quality of
other in-cabin services. The service launched on commercial
airlines in 2013 and is coming to general aviation. It is designed
to meet the drastically increasing demand for data, driven by
new applications. In addition to everyday web browsing, email,
and corporate VPN access, passengers can make VoIP calls,
stream music and videos, conduct video conferences, and
much more.
