Global In-Flight Entertainment & Connectivity (IFEC) Market Analysis store.rationalstat.com

Satellite is the best technology for IFEC solutions since it provides global coverage. Though, inflight Wi-Fi is still not very common in airplanes. Satellite technology has enabled the offering of basic voice and messaging services on long-haul flights. The primary factor hampering the market is the cost of the service as well as the high latency of Geostationary satellites located at more than 36,000 km above the earth. The satellite, however, is also very effective at broadcasting content due to its wide coverage capacity.
