ViaSat to install Ku-band terminal in Falcon 8X
Delivery planned to happen by year-end

ViaSat (Booth W089) announced here at EBACE that Dassault Aviation has selected it to equip the Falcon 8X with a Ku-band broadband terminal. The multi-year agreement opens the door for ViaSat to deliver a bundled global Ku-band service offering, with in-cabin network equipment and in-flight connectivity service. The first delivery is scheduled to take place by year-end.

The ViaSat Mobile Terminal 1500 (VMT-1500-C) shipset includes a Ku-band antenna, modem and antenna control unit. The cabin network will use a Satcom Direct Router provided by ViaSat. Installation of the system will begin in the middle of this year in Little Rock, Ark.
