ViaSat wants FCC International Bureau approval to operate two aircraft-mounted earth station antennas to provide broadband service via its ViaSat-2 satellite. An application Tuesday sought approval for the Mantarray M40 antenna and the Global Mantarray GM40 antenna. The company said ViaSat-2 is expected to start commercial service in Q1 and that granting the application would allow for broader in-flight connectivity service provision.
