Wi-Fi speed accelerates the new battle amongst airlines

Every other airline these days is keen on taking its best foot forward when it comes to customer service high above in the air. However, the center stage has been taken by the much in vogue Wi-Fi, which is making waves for offering internet connectivity to passengers during their flight. Wi-Fi has in other words created a new territory for the airlines to capture and each one is battling it hard to get it right.

The thought of using seamless internet in the air is exciting for many passengers. On the other hand, it has failed to impress many travelers who find traveling a great way of detaching themselves from the world including their own families, albeit for a few hours. No matter who likes what, airlines like Lufthansa are riding high on the success of installing Wi-Fi connectivity onboard their aircrafts. However, the battle has now moved away from just the Wi-Fi. The new domain that each one wants to capitalize now is the Speed.

Now a day’s most airlines are using satellite based Wi-Fi services to offer internet connections to the travelers. These services aim at offering better speed, which has now taken the main spot in the Wi-Fi battle high above in the sky. Going faster than the fastest is the new area that has captured the fancy of the airlines these days. The progression of internet services like Ku band and Ka band is confusing the airlines as to which one to choose for the best and quick results. This is leading to a new battle amongst different airlines, however, it is the customers who stand to benefit the maximum from it!
