SmartSky is offering lifetime unlimited data on its upcoming 4G air-to-ground (ATG) network for business aircraft operators who commit by early next year to its $4,500 per-month Enterprise plan, which normally provides 25 gigabytes. The company said its 4G ATG network, which uses “beam forming” technology to provide high data-transmission rates, is on schedule to provide 95 percent Continental U.S. coverage in mid-2018.
