New Package Is Based On Actual Monthly Data Consumption
Aircell announced Thursday at the
53rd AEA Convention in Orlando, FL that it will soon add a
usage-based billing option to its suite of service packages
available with its Aircell High Speed Internet products for
business, military and government aviation.
The new service package will allow Aircell High Speed Internet
customers the option of paying based on the monthly volume of data
they consume over the network. The new plan contrasts with
Aircell’s current monthly service plans – Ultraspeed
Standard and Ultraspeed Lite – which provide unlimited access
for a flat monthly fee. The new plan will become available this
summer and specific pricing and details will be released prior to
that time.
Aircell Senior Vice President and General Manager John Wade
said, “Customers with low or sporadic utilization patterns
will find great value in getting full access to the Aircell Network
in a pay-as-you-go format. Adding a “per megabyte”
option to our existing unlimited plans is like adding an a la carte
menu to an all-you-can-eat buffet.
“Our original, unlimited data
plans have proven to be very popular,” he continued.
“People rave about having a predictable flat fee with
no restrictions on the number of users, number of logins,
session time or amount of data transferred. They say it’s
great to just log on and go.
Based on the usage patterns we’ve seen in business
aviation, most typical flight departments will still find our
Ultraspeed Standard plan the best value. “It’s all
about giving customers what they want, keeping things familiar and
evolving our services to meet their needs. By offering both
unlimited and usage-based billing formats with Aircell High Speed
Internet, we provide an even greater level of choice for operators
with varying needs,” concluded Wade.
Aircell High Speed Internet is the only solution in business
aviation that provides a true high speed Internet experience that
equals what passengers are accustomed to on the ground, with
equipment that is small and light enough to fit on virtually any
business aircraft. It is up to 56 times faster than a traditional
dial-up connection.
In addition to the Aircell High Speed Internet system for the
continental U.S., Aircell is offering its satellite-based
SwiftBroadband solution for global service. Aircell’s
SwiftBroadband product is powered by Thrane & Thrane.
