BA’s Starlink partnership underscores the race to make satellite core to global connectivity

British Airways’ decision to roll out Starlink Wi-Fi across its fleet shows just how important continuous, reliable Internet connectivity has become to our everyday lives.

This move by British Airways and other airlines that have deployed onboard satellite Wi-Fi will do much for the reputation of satellite connectivity.

These pathways will give the satellite technology the low-latency connections it needs to sustain things like real-time AI inference.

The aim is to make these space-based ecosystems as responsive and reliable as those on the ground, so that no matter where users are, on Earth or in the sky, they won’t have to compromise on connectivity.
