SmartSky Delivers the Most Compelling User Experience in IFC
SmartSky’s best-in-class inflight connectivity system delivers the most compelling user experience while providing the most secure and most affordable system to all subscriber aircraft flying over the contiguous United States. Forget the buffering common with 3G air-to-ground (ATG) or frustrating limitations caused by high-latency satellite options.
Users can stream, chat, text and game with speeds comparable to the ground. Only SmartSky’s low latency allows live activities such as videoconferencing, WebEx applications and real-time gaming. Dynamic IP addressing, virtualized Evolved Packet Core (vEPC) and single-plane beamforming make SmartSky the most secure network, easily allowing corporate virtual private networks (VPNs). This bidirectional, cost-effective, advanced-technology system is the most affordable IFC option available, built efficiently and economically scalable for the future.
