Being on a flight doesn’t mean you have to be disconnected; United Airlines will begin offering Wi-Fi service on its planes later this year.
The airline said it would turn to Aircell’s Gogo in-flight wireless Internet service to let passengers use their Wi-Fi-enabled devices to surf the Web, check e-mail, access corporate VPNs, and chat over instant messaging services. The service will be priced at $12.95, and it will be available to all classes of service.
The connection speed should be comparable to 3G data services from the likes of AT&T and Verizon Wireless. Aircell said it installs on each plane an 800-GB server that caches content from recently accessed Internet addresses to speed up content delivery. There are no set bandwidth caps, but the IT service won’t allow VoIP calls.
