Elon Musk prepares to make connections satellite internet on planes. Starlink Aviation could debut on the first aircraft as early as early 2023. «Thanks to Starlink, passengers of the airplanes they will have access to a high-speed, low-latency Internet connection from the moment they board the plane,” the billionaire proudly announced.
The aircraft of the companies participating in the SpaceX plan will be equipped with a new terminal called Aero terminal. The new device supports a maximum bandwidth of 350Mbps. Basically, every passenger should have fast enough access to a network to serve the major VoD platforms. It will also be possible to make video calls and probably also play online.
A revolution, as airlines today offer onboard connections that rarely exceed 10 Mbps.
SpaceX claims its internet connection will be available for the duration of the flight and immediately, including during the landing and takeoff phases. The company claims that Starlink Aviation can guarantee a maximum ping of less than 20ms.
