Seamless Connectivity with Thales's Air to Ground (A2G) System
Thales's Air to Ground (A2G) 4G system provides a leading high-bandwidth in-flight connectivity solution for European-based passengers and aircraft operations on single-aisle aircraft. Designed to meet the increasing demand for in-flight connectivity while airlines modernize their fleets and enhance cabin services, A2G enables seamless internet connectivity over the continent. Unlike traditional satellite-based systems, A2G is economical, faster to install, lighter, and easier to maintain, making it an ideal choice for airlines looking to connect their fleets efficiently.
Efficiency and Reliability of A2G
The A2G system offers unparalleled efficiency and reliability. With installation taking only a matter of hours, airlines can start generating revenue from day one without disruption to their operations. A2G ensures high-speed broadband of up to 110 Mbps, allowing airlines to optimize their connected aircraft operations. The superior area coverage of A2G delivers a service quality similar to ground connectivity, with high capacity per km² and minimal latency, providing continuous high-quality connections through seamless tower switching.
Enhancing Passenger Experience and Operations
Thales's A2G solution not only boosts airline operations but also enhances the passenger experience. It creates opportunities for increased ancillary revenue through e-commerce, brand enhancement, and operational efficiencies. The system contributes to decreased carbon footprint by offering one of the highest data rate to installed weight ratios on the market, promoting secure digitalization of the cabin and reducing weight by going paperless. A reliable Wi-Fi connection ensures secure transactions and keeps passengers connected for in-flight purchases and web browsing.
