ViaSat extends Exede In the Air for general aviation jets

ViaSat offered higher capacity to its Exede In the Air service for executives, charters and others who rely on general aviation jets. The service is similar to the Internet in-flight service available on JetBlue and United Airlines, it said Monday in a news release (http://bit.ly/1wk0cZA). “Flight tests have validated multiple devices simultaneously using high-bandwidth applications,” like multisite videoconferencing, social media, and live streaming of HDTV and movies while switching between Ku and Ka satellites, it said.
