FAA Oks Viasat’s Ka-band System for Gulfstream G280
Viasat solution brings high speed Ka-band to super midsize jets, with speeds up to 16 MBps on entry level service plan.

Viasat (Booth C9020) has received FAA approval for its high-speed KA-band in-flight connectivity system for Gulfstream’s super-midsize G280 twinjet, the satcom service provider announced at NBAA-BACE 2019. The system enables passengers and flight crews the ability to conduct multi-site video conference calling and access corporate VPN networks, email, video streaming, live TV, and other bandwidth-intensive applications. Previously, the onboard equipment required for high-speed connectivity was too big for any but large-cabin jets.
