Hi Larry,
It was good to speak with you today. Sounds as though you and your boss have done your homework and know what
the state of the art is for business jet connectivity. To recap what we discussed:
ViaSat has a near global Ku-band satellite connectivity network in operation since before 2009. On that network, we can
provide 1.5 to 2.0 Mbps to the aircraft (useable by cabin, cockpit, and crew). Our basic plan includes up to 5 GB of data
per month. Service via ARINCDirect is typically $8995 per month for the 5 GB monthly plan. Larger plans are available
for higher data usage. Streaming a film for instance, would use about 2 GB of data, but email and web surfing only, given
50 hours or less of monthly usage should easily fit within 5 GB for 2-3 passengers.
ViaSat is also launching a next generation connectivity network for business jets. We're already providing this service to
a growing list of airlines - JetBlue, UA B737, Virgin America, Qantas, and recently announced AA 737Max. We'll be
bringing it to business aviation in 2017 following the first quarter launch of ViaSat-2. This is a Ka-band service, and while
the monthly service pricing should remain about the same, it will offer speeds to each device in the aircraft of 10 Mbps
and data plans that include 50 GB or more per month of usage.
As we discussed, Gulfstream and some MROs are working with us to pre-wire the aircraft to accept our next generation
system when they install the current ViaSat Ku-band system. So you could install our current 1.5 — 2.0 Mbps system now,
and then upgrade later to our 10 Mbps system when it's convenient. Installation costs are in the $600k to $800k range
depending on where you go and how much additional material they need to install (e.g. tail radome, in-cabin router,
WiFi distribution/access points, etc.)
I've attached our global Ku-band service and hardware brochure which has more information including the service
plans, and I've copied Ralph Fisch on my team who works with many of our MROs in our dealer network, including
Banyan. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
