We’ve got you covered

Our global multi-orbit network delivers low latency, unmatched resilience, and a more responsive passenger experience.

The best of both worlds

The Panasonic Avionics network combines a sophisticated combination of Geostationary Orbit (GEO) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites to provide extensive coverage.

Future-ready innovation

Our network is uniquely optimized to give you the ultimate passenger experience thanks to state-of-the-art aviation technology.
