Introducing Our Multi-Orbit (LEO and GEO) Network

We are excited to have entered into a distribution agreement with OneWeb to offer and support OneWeb’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) network for commercial aviation worldwide.

Lower Latency. Increased Experience.

LEO is able to deliver lower latency speeds, giving passengers a more responsive connectivity experience for streaming, browsing, messaging, gaming, and cloud-based apps.

Support Sharing with Faster Uplink

With the growing trend of sharing and posting online, LEO’s return link speeds of up to 32 Mbps make it great for passengers to share, post, and send content in flight.

A Strong, Resilient Network

With hundreds of LEO satellites operating closer to Earth and access to the open GEO market, our network is equipped to easily meet the growing demands of passengers.

Easily meet the growing connectivity demands of your passengers with increased capacity of multiple terabytes per second and download speeds approaching 200 Mbps per aircraft.

Improved Performance with Panasonic Hardware

Panasonic Avionics’ hardware not only powers our Wi-Fi connectivity services – it also works to enhance your passengers’ connectivity experience. Our Single Panel Antenna (SPA) is a fuselage-mounted Ku-band antenna that features a simplified design, improved performance, and delivers the bandwidth needed by passengers to have a world class connectivity experience, over the broadest geographical area. With a simplified mechanical design, the SPA design consumes less power and improves performance anywhere in the world. Moving forward, we are investing in electronically-steered antennas (ESA) for both LEO and GEO constellations.

Monitoring and Support

Our Panasonic Technical Services provides you with customized, proactive maintenance solutions that manage your connectivity support and cost, and your connectivity network is continuously monitored through our Customer Performance Center.
