Viasat Inc. a global communications company, announced today its Ka-band business aviation in-flight connectivity (IFC) system received Type Certification (TC) from the FAA, EASA and ANAC certifying its use on the Embraer Praetor 600 mid-sized business jet.

Viasat’s IFC system will be offered as a line-fit option, and will provide passengers and crew high-speed, high-quality in-flight internet connections required to enjoy advanced streaming services including Viasat Unlimited Streaming; conduct multi-site video conference calling; use corporate virtual private networks, email and cloud services; and leverage other bandwidth-intensive business and entertainment applications—at all stages of flight.
