All the signs look promising for the KuSAT-2000 satcom terminal. Astronics performed a test flight where its team was able to transfer approximately 12 GB of data, including as many as seven devices streaming in HD.

Satcom Direct CEO Jim Jensen says that business aviation will now have a dedicated connectivity system that can be tailored for customers to suit specific mission needs, in the form of IntelSat FlexExec.

The Gulfstream GIV-SP has become the first aircraft to benefit from Astronics AeroSat's latest satcom connectivity solution, the FliteStream T-310, which delivers internet and IPTV from a single antenna.
