Emirates commits to Inmarsat's GX Aviation inflight broadband
for Boeing 777X fleet
15 November 2017: Inmarsat (LON: ISAT), the world's leading
provider of global mobile satellite communications, is pleased to
note an announcement made by its partner Thales today, confirming
that Emirates intends to install Inmarsat's GX Aviation high-speed
inflight broadband service on its Boeing 777X aircraft fleet.
The new agreement is part of Emirates and Thales' plans to
develop state-of-the-art inflight entertainment and connectivity
(IFEC) on the airline's new Boeing 777X fleet. Emirates has 150
Boeing 777X aircraft on firm order, with deliveries currently
scheduled from 2020.
GX Aviation is the world's first in-flight connectivity solution
with seamless, reliable high-speed global coverage provided through
a single operator. It is the only service in the market that
guarantees minimum data rates, ensuring that airline passengers can
browse the internet, stream videos, check social media and more
during flights, with an onboard connectivity experience comparable
to the mobile broadband services they may receive on the
ground.
