Panasonic Avionics Corporation (Panasonic Avionics), a global leader in in-flight engagement and connectivity (IFEC), and Intellian Technologies, a leading global provider of satellite communication antennas and ground gateway solutions are announcing a new high-performance, cost-effective low earth orbit (LEO)-only terminal system designed to connect to Eutelsat’s OneWeb LEO network. The new terminal system features Intellian’s new LEO-only aviation antenna, seamlessly integrating the modem and controller into a design that requires no radome.
This innovative new Intellian User Terminal leverages significant advances in Electronically Steered Array (ESA) technology, design, and integration to deliver significant cost savings without any sacrifice to performance, weight, or ease of installation. Panasonic Avionics will use Intellian’s aviation antenna to deliver a faster, more reliable, and future-proof connectivity experience to its airline customers with up to 195 Mbps and less than 100 milliseconds of latency.
This latest product joins Panasonic Avionics’ broader portfolio, complementing its existing multi-orbit antenna solution, and reinforcing its strategic commitment to providing network- and orbit-agnostic in-flight connectivity (IFC) tailored to a variety of customer needs.
Its modular design, which is central to Panasonic Avionics’ approach to hardware, enables easy upgrades of core components as hardware and network enhancements become available. It also enables simultaneous multi-constellation operation for airlines and can be used to supplement their existing Panasonic Avionics in-flight connectivity service.
The new LEO-only solution is less than half the weight of typical multi-orbit and GEO terminals, helping airlines achieve their sustainability goals by reducing fuel burn.
Finally, the new terminal system delivers a superior ownership experience for airlines. It offers self-service control of connectivity through Panasonic Avionics’ Wi-FiÒ Portal Studio and Wi-Fi Reporting. The terminal system can also be combined with Panasonic Avionics’ Wi-Fi Roaming agreements and OneMedia Advertising solutions, which can increase service adoption, reduce airline operational costs of delivering Wi-Fi service, and enable attractive passenger amenities, such as free IFC.
