UAE: Yahsat eyes in-flight connectivity for regional airlines
In the next year, high-speed broadband will be available for airlines to offer passengers, using services from satellite company Yahsat, a subsidiary of Mubadala Development Company. The company said Monday that its services will offer in-flight connectivity that will allow passengers to “have an in-flight browsing experience similar to service available in their home or office.” The announcement comes after a partnership between Yahsat, du, Etihad Airways Engineering, Hughes Network System, and Carlisle Interconnect. As part of the partnership, Yahsat successfully tested out 50 megabits per second internet connection in an environment simulating that of an Airbus A320. Yahsat said it plans to execute steps over the next year to roll out the internet solution to commercial airlines across the Middle East and beyond. <br/>
