China has the largest number of mobile internet users in the world. It will become the world’s number one aviation market in the near future and the passenger’s in-flight connectivity will gain priority. With strong local commitment in China and the partnership with China Mobile, Airbus and SkyFive are partnering to develop a 5G Air-to-Ground solution with technology brick demonstration planned for the end of the year. This new Air-to-Ground solution will be available first for the Chinese domestic market and will complement identified capacity constraints of satellite communication solutions.
