Astronics AeroSat’s FliteStream connectivity solutions are the
first inflight terminals to obtain approval to operate over
Intelsat’s FlexExec service. FliteStream is a widely deployed
satellite broadband data solution of fuselage- and tail-mount
SATCOM products designed for government, commercial, business and
VVIP aviation operators and passengers.
FlexExec is a managed end-to-end service that is accessible via
Intelsat’s global, high-performing, multi-layered Ku-band satellite
fleet. Specifically designed to cover high-traffic business jet
routes, FlexExec integrates layers of high-throughput satellite
(HTS) coverage from the company’s proven Intelsat EpicNG fleet with
the company’s wide-beam Ku-band satellites to deliver added
resiliency and redundancy.
FlexExec also aggregates Intelsat’s space segment and the
IntelsatOne ground infrastructure into a simplified, streamlined
ecosystem. By having one cohesive network, service providers will
immediately gain operational efficiencies and be in a stronger
position to simplify the in-flight experience for flight
departments. In addition, the flexibility of the FlexExec platform
enables Intelsat’s service providers to define their offerings for
customers on an individual basis rather than on a one-size-fits-all
model.
