Inmarsat has debuted their latest enhancement to the Company’s SwiftBroadband aeronautical connectivity service. Inmarsat’s network now supports a new higher speed SwiftBroadband streaming class, which effectively allows an aircraft exclusive use of a satellite bearer. This extra functionality will generally be available above 15 degrees elevation when the satellite resources are available. The new streaming class is being charged per minute similar to the existing 16, 32, 64 and 128kbps services. In addition, Inmarsat is introducing new 8 and 16kbps streaming classes together with a dynamic Quality of Service, allowing onboard applications to use the bandwidth more efficiently.
