European Aviation Network
The world's first integrated S-band satellite and air-to-ground network
Reliable broadband for European aviation
The European Aviation Network (EAN) is our in-flight connectivity system designed for airlines to service short haul flights across Europe’s skies. EAN combines our S-band satellite (built by Thales Alenia Space and launched in 2017) coverage with a complementary ground network component operated by Deutsche Telekom.
While providing a reliable broadband service that supports streaming and other high bandwidth requirements, the EAN provides additional value to airlines through the employment of small, low weight, low drag terminals, enabling cost-savings and advancing sustainability initiatives.
