Owners of smaller aircraft such as the Pilatus PC-12 turboprop single now have the option to install SmartSky’s Lite air-to-ground connectivity system. The Lite package includes the base radio, which weighs 12.1 pounds, and a single full-duplex quad antenna, at 6.5 pounds.

Capable of streaming video and full Internet access, SmartSky Lite is designed for smaller aircraft that can’t accommodate the two-antenna SmartSky Flagship system. Both run on the same network, which covers the continental U.S.
