Dassault Falcon 900EX business jet

Viasat’s Ka-band satcom system has received FAA approval for installation in the Dassault Falcon 900EX. Dassault-owned service centers are providing installations of the Viasat Global Aero Terminal 5510, which are available immediately for the trijet.

Airborne connectivity using the Viasat 5510 is available in all phases of flight, including taxi, takeoff, cruise, and landing. System speed typically is more than 30 Mbps, although, the company said, “This year Viasat reported a 50 percent increase in typical connectivity speeds delivered previously to its Ka-band business jet customers.” This allows for onboard videoconferencing, video streaming, corporate VPN access, and other bandwidth-intensive services.
