Viasat Tops 1,000 Commercial Aircraft Using Its In-Flight Wireless

Carlsbad-based satellite communications provider Viasat says it has just hit 1,000 commercial aircraft using its in-flight wireless communications systems. According to Viasat, more than 400 of those installs were installed in 2018, with more than half of those installed in the second half of the year. Viasat offers up a satellite-based, high speed Internet service. Viasat's high speed satellite Internet--which is also available to terrestrial users--is based on the Viasat-2 commercial communications satellite, which was launched into space in June of 2017.
