[Via Satellite 04-20-2016] SES and Global Eagle Entertainment (GEE) announced further significant Ku-band capacity agreements to bring more In-Flight Connectivity (IFC) bandwidth to regions where air traffic is growing at a fast pace. The latest agreements between GEE and SES secures multiple transponders of wide beam Ku-band coverage aboard SES’ NSS 12 and AMC 1 satellites to meet the fast-growing passenger and airline demand across India, Central Asia, the Middle East, and North America.
GEE is now tapping 12 SES satellites to put together a complementary mix of Ku-band wide beam and upcoming Ku-band High Throughput Satellite (HTS) spot beam coverage to meet various levels of IFC demand along travel routes around the globe.
