A joint venture between UK-based Inmarsat and operator Deutsche Telekom (http://www.imore.com/t-mobile) could well make flying that much more enjoyable with access to the outside world. The companies have announced a new framework that combines LTE and satellite networks to deliver high-speed internet called the European Aviation Network.</p> <!--break--> <p>Similar to what Gogo provides in the US, Inmarsat will provide satellite coverage, while Deutsche Telekom will deploy 300 modified LTE sites that have a range of up to 80 kilometers and will be able to handle a plane travelling thousands of feet above. Lufthansa will be the first Europe-based airline to trial the new framework. 2017 will see the carrier's aircraft fitted with equipment to connect to satellite and ground LTE sites to provide reliable in-flight Wi-Fi.</p> <p>Source: Inmarsat (http://www.inmarsat.com/press-release/deutsche-telekom-and-inmarsat-partner-to-deliver-european-aviation-network/), via: Engadget (http://www.engadget.com/2015/09/21/inmarsat-deutsche-telekom-plane-wifi-europe/)</p> </div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
