After winning the FCC’s recent air-to-ground spectrum licensing auction, Aircell is spearheading a Wi-Fi revolution that will change the airline and business aircraft passenger experience by early 2008.

Dramatically different in execution from other passenger services, Aircell broadband is lighter, smaller and more cost-effective than anything that¹s come before it. A new approach that brings the Internet, e-mail and other data services to aircraft passengers – an Aircell exclusive for both commercial airliners and business aircraft. Aircell broadband uses air-to-ground (ATG) communications to provide a reliable, high-speed connection, at costs comparable to what passengers pay for ground-based service.

With more than ten years of experience in business aviation, Aircell builds products that are offered by virtually every fixed- and rotory-wing airframe manufacturer, and are installed aboard all of the world’s largest fractional ownership fleets.
