Abstract

The declining cost of cabin electronics has forced previously skeptical airlines to reconsider passenger connectivity services. While passenger surveys have shown strong demand since 2001, low cost hardware is finally allowing airlines to supply services with far more reasonable capital outlays. However, as communications technology has advanced, choices have expanded, even in the face of standards like ARINC 763, and air carriers are now choosing from a growing selection of GSM and Wi-Fi cabin architectures.

As airlines spend more time and effort planning cabin networks, many are asking :

how many picocells and access points will be installed on commercial jets over the next three years?
to what extent do pricing, cabling requirements, and demand differ for GSM and Wi-Fi services?
wireless in-flight entertainment systems have been shelved, and Connexion failed, what’s different

In addition to analyses of equipment vendors and service providers, this study looks at the factors influencing the market’s overall growth, as well as the points airlines consider when choosing between a Wi-Fi or GSM communications architecture.
