The number of airliners equipped for broadband connectivity from ground stations and satellites could nearly quadruple to 24,400 by 2026, estimates Florent Rizzo of Euroconsult, a space-market consultancy with offices in France, the US, Canada and Japan. Business passengers want to stay productive in flight, and leisure passengers want to be entertained and to remain in touch. Broadband also gives the crew, with cyber-security in mind, better weather data and bigger data pipes for downloading operational and maintenance data. All customers want more bandwidth and less expensively. Here, Canaday discusses how best to provide that bandwidth.
