SES announced a milestone toward offerability for SES? multi-orbit antenna for installation by Boeing. This will allow airlines to receive new aircraft with the onboard network in place and connectivity service available immediately after delivery through a Boeing provided modification.
Through this collaboration, Boeing will install the SES in-cabin hardware network on production aircraft during factory production, the first key milestone toward offering its multi-orbit system as a fully line-fit connectivity solution across all Boeing commercial programs. As part of this solution, Boeing will install the complete in-cabin network and manage coordination of the external equipment installation. Initial offerability will be on the Boeing 737 followed by 787 airplanes. Designed to operate across both low-Earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary (GEO) satellite constellations, SES?
system enables global coverage, redundancy, and low-latency performance. The success of its multi-orbit ESA system, with 500 installations complete and 1,000 commitments in the pipeline, underscores confidence in SES? innovative approach to in-flight connectivity.
