Intel verifies Connexion by Boeing for in-flight WiFi

Posted on 2 Aug 2005 at 11:01

Aircraft maker Boeing and Intel have signed a deal to promote the Connexion by Boeing in-flight wireless Internet service. As part of the agreement the companies have said that Connexions by Boeing is the first in-flight Internet service to be verified through Intel's Wireless Verification Program.

Connexion by Boeing is an on board Internet connection service for Boeing aircraft. The company claims to have deals with a wide range of airlines and 70 planes and more than 100 daily routes worldwide on Lufthansa Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, Japan Airlines, ANA, Singapore Airlines and China Airlines. The service is also available on private and government aircraft.

The Intel Wireless Verification Program works with wireless service providers to provide optimum quality of service, site coverage and reduce downtime.

The Intel announcement follows an agreement last week between Connexion by Boeing and search engine Yahoo! Under the terms of the deal Yahoo's search engine will be the default on Boeing's in-flight Internet service.
