Internet will accelerate on airplanes.

It is not possible to watch videos from YouTube using the internet provided by airlines. In order to solve this problem, good news comes from the airline companies that have signed a joint effort with technology companies.

For the first time in 2011, LiFi, a light-based Internet technology, uses LED lights instead of radio signals for data transmission. The technology to be used by airlines will be LifiMax developed by Oledcomm.

In the first place with LifiMAX narrow-body aircraft will start to work to increase the speed of the internet said. The point reached in the works will be displayed at the International Paris Air Show, which will start on 16 June.

HIGH SPEEDS LIKE 100 MBPS

Thanks to this technology, Oledcomm states that speeds of up to 100 Mbps per seat can be achieved. This allows passengers to watch videos in 4K resolution while in the air or connect to online games.

This is theoretically achievable speed. That is, LifiMAX does not increase the speed and reliability of the internet provided to the aircraft. It makes the distribution within the aircraft much more efficient and high performance. Therefore, it is up to the airlines to provide a high-speed internet solution.

Oledcomm representative LiFiMAX technology, Air France flights will begin to be used by the end of the year, he says. For additional information, please note that the highest Internet speed available in the US is 15 Mbps.
