Izi zikuwonetsa kuyambika kwa intaneti pa ndege ya turboprop, ndikuyika chitsanzo mumlengalenga. ukadaulo wapaulendo.
Mlandu wa Starlink intaneti pa ndege yosankhidwa idzatenga miyezi inayi mpaka isanu ndi umodzi. Ngati zikuyenda bwino, Air New Zealand ikukonzekera kukhazikitsa intaneti yothamanga kwambiri, yotsika pang'onopang'ono mu ndege pa zombo zonse zapanyumba zomwe zatsala pofika chaka cha 2025. Apaulendo angayembekezere kuthamanga kwa intaneti mofulumira kuti azitha kuyendetsa mavidiyo mosasunthika.
Intaneti ya Starlink yowuluka ipangitsa apaulendo abizinesi kuti apitilize kugwira ntchito paulendo wandege, pomwe apaulendo omasuka amatha kuwulutsa ma podcasts ndikuwonetsa ma Netflix munthawi yeniyeni m'malo motsitsa.

Koma Starlink, imagwiritsa ntchito ma satellites a LEO pafupi ndi Earth, kuwonetsetsa kuti ma siginecha odalirika amakhala pafupi nthawi zonse chifukwa chakuyenda kwawo kotsika pansi.
Jason Fritch, wachiwiri kwa purezidenti ku Starlink ku SpaceX, adanyadira kugwirizana ndi Air New Zealand kuti adziwitse intaneti yothamanga kwambiri ya Starlink mundege zawo, ndicholinga chokulitsa mwayi wolumikizana nawo mundege kwa omvera padziko lonse lapansi.
