Aircell Picks LTE for Air-to-Ground Mobile Internet Backbone
Jul 16, 2008, 1:04 PM by Eric M. Zeman
Today Aircell announced that it has chosen Long Term Evolution for its 4G technology path. It will use LTE to provide in-flight Internet services to air carriers in North America. Airline companies will be able to offer Wi-Fi to customers aboard flights, using Aircell's Gogo service to connect them to the Internet. Right now, Aircell's Gogo service uses EVDO Rev. A technology. By picking LTE, it will future-proof its services and fall in line with the choices made by other carriers, such as Alltel, AT&T and Verizon Wireless.
