LONDON — Japan Airlines (JAL) plans to test a new dual-antenna product from GoGo, named 2Ku, that the supplier claims will give airlines fast, reliable and affordable broadband worldwide.
Thales has unveiled a prototype of its “Immersive Business Class Seat,” developed in partnership with BE Aerospace and BMW Design Works, at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg.
Japan Airlines (JAL) is to trial a new dual-antennae product from GoGo, named 2Ku, which the supplier claims will give airlines fast, reliable and affordable broadband worldwide. 2Ku, which is expected to enter commercial service in 2015, uses two low-profile antennae to increase in-flight data bandwidth and coverage. These are the same antennae as GoGo uses for its Ground to Orbit (GTO) technology, but instead of having a return link to the ground 2Ku will upload and download data from a range of Ku-band satellites, giving global coverage.
