ViaSat will soon launch its ViaSat-2 service, allowing large cabin bizjets to provide even higher connection speeds to users in flight. The service is an upgrade to ViaSat’s already capable system, which provides Ku- and Ka-band satellite coverage.

Key Takeaways:
- ViaSat is launching its ViaSat-2 service to provide large cabin business jets with significantly higher, consistent in-flight internet speeds (up to 1 Gbps), comparable to home or office connectivity.
- Unlike other services, ViaSat's connectivity doesn't degrade with increased users and supports demanding applications like video streaming and large file transfers, covering 90% of popular flight routes.
- The Global Aero Terminal 5510 hardware costs around $400,000 installed, enabling current data plans up to 16 Mbps (increasing to 32 Mbps by 2020) starting at $7,000 per month.
