Our revolutionary system blends proprietary software, satellite and land networking, and onboard LANs to blanket the ground and air with reliable, uninterrupted and surprisingly affordable Internet access. As is the case with any new technology, no single standard currently exists. Instead, Tenzing provides in-flight Internet connectivity by linking its onboard server with existing telephone networks on commercial planes.
Passengers connect their laptop to the server via seat-back data ports.
Logging onto Tenzing Global provides quick access to onboard Web content and email delivery service. Web content from over 80 leading providers is currently uploaded at the originating airport on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis - depending on the timeliness of the subject matter. Time critical data such as News, Sports, Weather and Stock Market Conditions are updated on a routine basis while inflight. Incoming and outgoing email is beamed to the server every few minutes. Still, this solution is temporary.
