Arinc Direct Expands Broadband Service

Arinc Direct customers will soon be discovering new horizons. The business division of Annapolis, Md.-based Arinc expects to expand coverage of its Skylink in-flight satellite Ku broadband service to include the Caribbean, the North Atlantic and a “substantial” portion of Central and South America before year-end. Skylink service over North America has been available since 2005, and service over Europe was added last year. Caribbean and Latin American coverage is to be provided through SES Americom via a new Miami-based ground station.
