Product Description
Inmarsat’s S-band satellite (I-S EAN) powers the European Aviation Network (EAN), a unique and world-leading high-speed broadband solution built to meet the needs of Europe’s busy airspace.
EAN combines satellite coverage with Deutsche Telekom’s complimentary 4G LTE ground network to deliver cost-effective in-flight connectivity across 30 nations – transforming the passenger experience, driving operational efficiency, and opening new revenue streams for airlines.
Built by France’s Thales Alenia Space, I-S EAN was launched by Arianespace as part of a dual payload ‘condos’ in June 2017, becoming fully operational in September 2017.
