AeroMobile equips 100th 3.5G connected aircraft

Panasonic Avionics (Panasonic) subsidiary AeroMobile has added 100th aircraft to its 3.5G mobile network. With 60% of airlines now offering 3.5G inflight connectivity, users of the AeroMobile service grew by 57% between 4Q16 and 1Q17. The inflight 3.5G network is complementary to Panasonic’s global inflight connectivity service. It offers passengers a simple and elegant way to stay in touch with friends, family, co-workers and current events while in the air. It gives passengers the same connectivity options as they have on the ground, and when combined with inflight Wi-Fi, enables data speeds that are comparable to a terrestrial service.
