Innovation that Delivers Exceptional Inflight Connectivity

The Future is Multi-orbit

For coverage, capacity, and quality of experience, a single network isn’t enough to provide the experience your passengers expect. Intelsat’s multi-orbit blended network provides the best of geostationary orbit (GEO) and low-Earth orbit (LEO) constellations.

  • GEO satellites provide redundant, high-throughput coverage for high-density areas
  • LEO satellites provide pole-to-pole coverage with the lowest latency to power the snappiest applications

Indeed, Intelsat’s multi-orbit inflight connectivity (IFC) solution has already been selected by some of the world’s leading airlines.

Beyond the network, delivering exceptional inflight experiences that meet the needs of airlines, passengers, and crews requires seamless interaction between access technologies, in-cabin networks, and system software.

Let us collaborate with you to select the ideal technology for your airline, considering your unique requirements and business objectives.

Flexible Connectivity Options

Intelsat ESA: The Multi-orbit Satellite Solution

Supporting both linefit and retrofit installations, Intelsat’s Electronically Steered Array ESA) antenna is the first commercially available antenna to operate between LEO and GEO satellites. ESA offers the benefits of LEO’s low latency plus the high-throughput coverage of GEO so that no matter where an aircraft flies, passengers experience superior performance from takeoff to touchdown.
