ViaSat Signs In-Flight Internet Reseller For Ka-Band Service

Carlsbad-based satellite broadband provider ViaSat says it has added its first, value-added reseller for its high speed, Ka-band inflight Internet service today. ViaSat said Satcom Direct (SD), will offer up its in flight systems to large and mid-cabin business jets. Satcom Direct already had been reselling ViaSat's KU-band service. ViaSat's new Ka-band service offers up 16Mbps in-flight Internet speeds, and also has an IPTV downlink option and ability to use the Ku-band network if needed.
