ViaSat (Booth W089) announced here at EBACE that Dassault Aviation has selected it to equip the Falcon 8X with a Ku-band broadband terminal. The multi-year agreement opens the door for ViaSat to deliver a bundled global Ku-band service offering, with in-cabin network equipment and in-flight connectivity service. The first delivery is scheduled to take place by year-end.
The ViaSat Mobile Terminal 1500 (VMT-1500-C) shipset includes a Ku-band antenna, modem and antenna control unit. The cabin network will use a Satcom Direct Router provided by ViaSat. Installation of the system will begin in the middle of this year in Little Rock, Ark.
Dassault Falcon Services is working on an STC for retrofitting the system on the Falcon 7X.
