World’s fastest in-flight internet coming to EuropeOctober 7, 2015 - 14:03 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - British satellite company Inmarsat has partnered with Deutsche Telekom to bring super-fast Internet to fliers in Europe, enabling them to use their smartphones at same speed in the air as they do on the ground, CNN News reports. The service will be the fastest on the market, delivering a peak speed of 75 megabits per second -- that's way above the 30 megabits that passes as super-fast fiber broadband in some cities. Inmarsat hopes to achieve this by launching the world's first commercial satellite and ground system called the European Aviation Network, which will be a hybrid between the two technologies currently used for in-flight connectivity. The first airline to trial it, from 2017, will be the German carrier Lufthansa. The passengers will be able to update social media, send emails and texts, and also stream music and films glitch-free.
