Embraer has finalised an agreement with satellite-based communications firm Intelsat, to install its high-speed in-flight connectivity system on its E2 aircraft during production.
The system, which has transmission speeds up to 275Mbps, is the first multi-orbit satellite system to incorporate an electronically steered array (ESA) antenna, which for passengers means wider coverage and faster transmission.
“Factory-installation of the Intelsat ESA is a good example of how we’re making it easier for our customers to offer an improved passenger experience as soon as the aircraft is delivered,” said Martyn Holmes, CCO, Embraer Commercial Aviation.
The Intelsat ESA, which is offered as an option, will be available for line-fit by the end of this year.
