The following video is some behind-the-scenes information about the actual installation process relevant to firms like GOGO, as the old fleets of the major airlines slowly undergo wi-fi installation for in-flight internet access.
If you have any other ways to play this, feel free to list them in the comments below.
insane – awesome video
VSAT WIFI
I’d wait… till you hear positive comments from the users of airlines before trading.
The worst airline in the world.
Delta has the most planes with Gogo, as far as I know, but I don’t see many people using it. The problem is that their in-flight entertainment selection is too good. They have a lot of new movies and tv shows to choose from.
Maybe the airlines don’t care if their customers purchase wifi. They just want to have that equipment on their planes. Perhaps they are hoping to buyout the service from Gogo at some point down the road. Then, they can offer Wifi for free and use that as a competitive advantage.
I don’t fly often. How much does it cost for in-flight WiFi via GOGO?
I get the outside antenna part and the equipment in a rack. The odd part is all the cabin work.
The reason for this is probably concern over radiofrequency (RF) level from an interference and possibly human exposure standpoint. I think this concern is over blown.
It is also possible that FAA and air safety policies require a cabin break down, specific wiring layout and sign off by a licensed person.
Summing up, they can’t just place two antennas at each end of the cabin and be done with it.
Great video chess! The excess cabin work is very much needed here due to the construction of the plane. It’s an Airbus A319, the avionics(the big computer chip-like panel) are all located beneath the cockpit, which is where all that cabling needs to be routed from the WiFi dome. There are 3 compartments under the passenger seats, the one smack in the middle being unpressurized is why it needs the excessive work. You can Google the importance of cabin pressure if you need to ^_^
Buy some GOGO
