Alcatel, Inmarsat Plan European ATG Satcom Service
The system promises speeds of up to 75 Mbps, about 50 percent faster than Inmarsat’s upcoming GX satcom system.

Alcatel-Lucent and Inmarsat are partnering in development of a high-speed “hybrid” satcom/air-to-ground (ATG) telecom network for airlines and business aviation in Europe. The system promises speeds of up to 75 Mbps, about 50 percent faster than Inmarsat’s upcoming GX satcom system and “far in excess of the limited capabilities of North American ATG systems,” according to Inmarsat.
