Viasat has received FAA approval for the installation of its Ka-band in-flight connectivity on the Gulfstream G450, which builds on its supplemental type certificates for the installation of the system on more than 20 super-midsize and large-cabin, long-range business jets.

With more than 300 G450s in service, Viasat said there is “considerable demand” for its Wi-Fi solution that can support videoconferencing, corporate virtual private networks, and other business applications. The Ka-band kit includes Viasat’s Global Aero Terminal 5510 and a custom radome installed by one of its MRO dealers.
