iPass Inflight Internet at 30,000 feet!

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010 Marcio Avillez, VP Network Offerings

Research conducted by the Wi-Fi Alliance and Wakefield Research in September 2009 showed that inflight Internet was fast becoming a valued airline service among business travelers. The survey stated that:

• 76 percent would choose an airline based on the availability of inflight Wi-Fi;
• 55 percent would shift their flight by one day if it meant having inflight Wi-Fi;

In a survey that we did to our customers on inflight Wi-Fi, one customer said, “There are always things that can be done if connected during a flight.”

I think that anyone would agree that having Wi-Fi available on your flight can help your productivity, and that of your mobile employees – you can have real-time project collaboration, respond immediately to client requests, keep up and even get ahead on email and much more. So, we are excited that our iPass Mobile Network now has inflight Wi-Fi available through Gogo Inflight Internet. You only need to use your iPassConnect client, and the connection, policies and billing are handled the same as any other hotspot.

To get you up-to-speed quickly, we put together an information page. You find out which airlines are equipped with Gogo, how the iPass service works, results and insights from our new customer survey on inflight Wi-Fi usage, and how you, as an existing iPass customer, can access our new inflight Wi-Fi service.

Look for us on your next flight!
