We all know the pain of using traditional in-flight WiFi: slow speeds, constant buffering, and the frustration of paying for a service that barely works. Along comes Starlink from SpaceX with promises to change all that and provide a significantly improved internet experience in the air. I took to the skies with JSX, the first airline to offer Starlink Wi-Fi on all its flights. But does it live up to the hype? 🚀🛰️✈️ In this video, I put Starlink to the test in the air, on the tarmac, and even in the terminal (spoiler alert: the terminal Wi-Fi was terrible 🙈). I share speed tests, my experience streaming YouTube videos, making video calls, and even try to answer some of your burning questions about Starlink Aviation Enjoy and drop your questions in the comments https://lnkd.in/ggDiu7-d

The best way to evaluate in-flight WiFi systems is in flight. Even if I don't manage to schedule Beach time along the way.

Starlink's in-flight WiFi is revolutionizing air travel, offering seamless streaming options at speeds of up to 250 Mbps. - 📶 High-speed internet: No need to pre-download content. - 🎥 Stream on demand: Enjoy movies, shows, and more mid-flight. - ✈️ Game-changer: Enhancing air travel entertainment. #StarlinkInFlight #AirTravelGameChanger #SeamlessStreaming

🚀 Gogo Upgrade or Starlink? Making the Right Choice for Your Aircraft! 🚀 If you currently have a Gogo ATG system installed on your aircraft, you're likely weighing the benefits of upgrading to AVANCE L3 or L5 versus installing Starlink. Both offer significant performance improvements, but key differences might make one a better fit depending on your needs. 🔍 Key Considerations: 📅 Upgrade Deadline: December 2025 -- Legacy ATG Network Migration: Upgrade to AVANCE or 5G to avoid compatibility issues and take advantage of rebates before it's too late. ⚖️ AVANCE L3 and L5: -- Cost-Effective: Lower installation costs and a variety of subscription plans to fit different budgets. -- Rebates: Significant incentives available until the end of 2025. -- Compatibility & Weight: Fits a wide range of airframes with minimal modifications. -- Domestic Connectivity: Optimized for flights within the US and Canada. Future International Capabilities: Integration with the Galileo satellite system for enhanced global coverage. 🌐 Starlink: -- Global Coverage: Ideal for international and intercontinental flights. -- High-Speed Internet: Low latency, perfect for high-bandwidth applications. -- Future-Proof: Cutting-edge satellite technology with ongoing improvements. -- Considerations: Larger, heavier antenna, higher installation and subscription costs, and pending STCs for many aircraft models. ⏳ Don’t Wait Too Long! The December 2025 deadline will be here before you know it, and demand for upgrades is already surging. Secure your installation slot early to avoid long downtimes and ensure you benefit from available rebates. Missing the deadline could mean losing up to $50,000 in incentives. 👉 Ready to decide?

Better Onboard Communication = Investment in Safety Here's how poor communication can impact maritime safety: Delayed Response to Emergencies: Crucial time can be lost if crew can't clearly communicate the situation and receive timely instructions. Misunderstandings and Errors: Garbled messages or unclear instructions can lead to navigational mistakes and accidents. Reduced Crew Morale: Isolation at sea, compounded by communication difficulties with loved ones, can negatively impact crew morale and focus. Investing in reliable maritime communication solutions like Space-Vision's Starlink or global VSAT coverage solutions is an investment in safety. Please contact us for reliable and quicker installation of communication solutions for your vessel or facilities. #maritimesafety #maritimecommunication #VSAT #starlink #satcom #SpaceVision #Rotterdam #Netherlands #UAE

American Airlines currently makes high-speed Wi-Fi available on over 900 mainline aircraft – the most in the industry. The number will reach over 1,400 once the planned updates to regional aircraft are complete. Intelsat’s Electronically Steered Array (ESA) antennae interoperate on both Intelsat’s family of geostationary satellites and on a constellation of Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, providing low latency high-speed internet connection to American’s customers. This new technology will allow these regional aircraft to match fast Wi-Fi speeds currently available on American’s mainline aircraft. Last year, American became the first airline to offer streaming capability on 100% of its mainline fleet, for customers to watch video content from their favorite streaming platform. #americanairlines #americanairlinesarena #americaneagle #inflight #inflightwifi #usaviation #intelsat #american #aa #usatravel #travelusa #america #travelinusa #usaflights #airfaredeals #cheapflightsfares #cheapflighttickets #lowcosttravel

Interesting to see how much milliseconds can impact spacecraft recovery and costs. I can see low latency satcom becoming more in demand as enterprise use cases like these grow.
