AirCell Becomes one of the Fierce 15 Broadband Wireless Companies of 2007

By Anuradha Shukla, TMCnet Contributing Editor

AirCell has reportedly made it to the annual FierceBroadband Wireless "Fierce 15" list of top mobile broadband companies of the year.
 
Following the evaluation of hundreds of organizations, FierceBroadbandWireless' editors found AirCell to be one of the pioneering leaders. The company has proven market success and industry innovations such as effectively developing and commercializing its air-to-ground technology.



 
AirCell also announced they recently inked a deal with American Airlines to begin testing wireless broadband Internet on transcontinental flights across the United States in 2008.
 
AirCell bagged an exclusive FCC (News - Alert) spectrum license last year that enables the company to offer broadband connectivity on private business aircraft and commercial airlines across the US. This allows the company to expand its business and services into the commercial aviation sector. 
 
AirCell’s in-flight broadband service uses their unique air-to-ground network, which utilizes the latest technology to transmit and receive data between the ground and the aircraft. The service is expected to roll out on commercial airlines and business aircraft in 2008.
 
Thanks to AirCell, commercial and business aviation passengers will soon be able to connect to the Internet, office networks, send and receive email, chat, text message and participate in online games using their own Wi-Fi enabled devices.  
 
“Access to the Internet on airplanes represents an enormous untapped market. With its new license in the air-to-ground space and impressive management team, AirCell is poised to lead in this space,” said Lynnette Luna, editor of FierceBroadbandWireless in a statement.
