Did you know that our AirFi LEO in-flight connectivity solution is powered by the Iridium Certus platform? It’s a major factor in helping us to keep costs low and passenger satisfaction high.
In the latest episode of the Constellations podcast from Kratos Defence, host John Gilroy interviews John Peterson, Executive Director of Aviation at Iridium. Peterson explores how Iridium’s low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network operates, the benefits of LEO satellites for the aviation market, and the cost efficiencies created for airlines using Iridium’s LEO network.
Listen to the podcast if you want to find out how, according to Peterson, “costs in the cabin space … are going from dollars per megabyte to pennies per megabyte,” and how the industry has gone from “a smoking fast internet service at 64 kilobits per second … to speeds that go as fast as a hundred megabits per second.”
A big thank you to John for using AirFi as an example of how its partners are using Iridium’s technology in a creative way. We’re proud to be the first approved user of the Certus platform in the commercial aviation market and look forward to discussing with you how with AirFi LEO, you can entertain passengers while generating ancillary revenue safely and securely.
P.s. If you don’t have time to listen to the podcast, but you’d like to learn more about Iridium’s LEO network, you can access a PDF of the full podcast transcript here.
