DL igang med wi-fi

[LN-MOW]

... men jeg skal vel ha flaks om jeg faar teste det til SEA i januar ...

Atlanta-based Delta plans to launch the service on six planes next week, and gradually add service to more aircraft. The first flights to have the Wi-Fi service will be Delta flights on MD-88 and Boeing 757 aircraft flying out of New York. The service will be on flights out of Atlanta by early 2009.

MOW,

The broadband Wi-Fi service, called Gogo and provided by Itasca, Ill.-based Aircell, will allow passengers with Wi-Fi-enabled laptops and other devices to access the Internet and send and receive e-mail, texts and instant messages.

Er det dette LiveTV i.e. JetBlue ogsaa tilbyr med systemet deres, text og e-mail, men "begrenset" internet?

The service will not be available on Delta Connection flights and will be limited to North America because Aircell relies on ground towers.

Jeg forstaar at det er et "catch" her med systemdekning og bakke antenner. Vet du noe mer om dette?

Nei, dette er 'rent' internett. Man er avhengige av bakkestasjonene på fastlandet, det er derfor det kun tilbys på innenlandsflightene. Det er også lettere enn tre innsjekkede kofferter, som de sier selv ... Her er presentasjonssidene til Aircell:

enklere å få til det der i US enn i Europa, gitt.

Noen som vet hva slags frekvensområde de bruker? I Europa er det jo frekvenser som kan brukes på tvers av landegrenser mangelvare.

AirCell paid $31.3m for the 3-megahertz license, said the FCC, in a statement.

Og da slenger også UA seg med - men tydeligvis kun for sine PS-flighter ..

United is the latest carrier to confirm it will bring Aircell's Gogo Internet onboard, saying in a statement today that the service will be offered on 13 Boeing 757s flying transcontinental routes from New York JFK to Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Og uanmeldt ut av startgropen kom airTran!

However, the carrier intends to move faster than its competition by equipping its entire 136-strong fleet of Boeing 737 and 717 aircraft with Aircell's Gogo broadband system by mid-summer.

The ambitious project, which has been kept under wraps until now, was officially kicked off this morning with a Wi-Fi flight from Baltimore/Washington International airport attended by press.
