Wi-Fi for Planes
Connecting the Sky with Secure, Reliable Wireless
Air travel has entered a new digital era where in-flight Wi-Fi is no longer a luxury, but an expectation. Passengers demand seamless connectivity for work, entertainment, and communication, while airlines rely on Wi-Fi for operational efficiency, safety, and revenue generation.
Delivering enterprise-grade wireless at 35,000 feet and 900 km/h requires specialized engineering that integrates cabin Wi-Fi networks with satellite and air-to-ground (ATG) backhaul. In-flight connectivity (IFC) must be fast, secure, and resilient under some of the harshest technical conditions in wireless networking.
Why Wi-Fi Matters in Aviation
- Passenger Experience
- Crew Communication
- Aircraft Operations
- Safety & Security
