SATELLITE CAPACITY DIMENSIONING FOR IN-FLIGHT INTERNET SERVICES IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC REGION

In this paper we provide an estimation of the net satellite capacity needed to reliably offer In-Flight Internet services to aircraft flying in the North-Atlantic region. For this work we took into account the expected dynamic usage of AirCom (Aeronautical Communications) Internet services, the aver...

Description
Summary:In this paper we provide an estimation of the net satellite capacity needed to reliably offer In-Flight Internet services to aircraft flying in the North-Atlantic region. For this work we took into account the expected dynamic usage of AirCom (Aeronautical Communications) Internet services, the average aircraft ’ cabin configurations and the characteristics of the North Atlantic routes.
