We’ve got you covered

Our global multi-orbit network delivers low latency, unmatched resilience, and a more responsive passenger experience.

The best of both worlds

The Panasonic Avionics network combines a sophisticated combination of Geostationary Orbit (GEO) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites to provide extensive coverage.

Future-ready innovation

Our network is uniquely optimized to give you the ultimate passenger experience thanks to state-of-the-art aviation technology.

  • x Faster

    Reduced latency

    LEO satellites are 35 times closer to the earth, reducing latency from ~700 ms to ~100 ms, dramatically enhancing the responsiveness of online activities.
  • %

    Additional GEO capacity

    Our increased GEO capacity supports widespread cabin take up and access to all online activities, including streaming.
  • %

    Increase in XTS™ capacity

    Our XTS (Extreme Throughput Satellite) coverage has been expanded by 240% focusing on high density areas including Europe, Middle East, North Africa, and the North Atlantic.
