T-Mobile, VT Miltope, ViaSat, and TriaGnoSys have partnered to introduce a new Ku-band satellite-based inflight broadband and GSM telephony solution.
Through the onboard Wi-Fi hotspot, passengers will be able to use their notebook computers, smartphones, and suitable mobile phones to access the Internet, send and receive text messages and e-mails, and make voice calls. T-Mobile provides the customer interface, which can be co-branded by the airline.

VT Miltope is responsible for the cabin hardware and integration. TriaGnoSys, a supplier to VT Miltope, is responsible for software development, cabin integration, testing, and verification. ViaSat provides the global Ku-band coverage.
