American Airlines to Test AirCell's Broadband Connectivity American Airlines will begin testing AirCell's high-speed broadband connectivity for passengers on its B-767-200s that fly primarily fly transcontinental routes in 2008. Dan Garton, American's executive vice president for marketing, said the carrier is undertaking the evaluation because it believes some of its customers – especially business customers, want to use their PDAs (personal digital assistants) for real-time communications while in flight. AirCell's system will provide American's passengers with a high-speed Internet connection in all classes of the aircraft for a fee. If the connectivity evaluation is successful, the airline says it will consider extending the capability to the rest of its domestic fleet. American's 767 installations will consist of three exterior antennas (two on the bottom of the aircraft and one on top). The signals received inside the cabin will be 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi. 08-04-2007. |
