announced it has expanded its business aviation dealer program,

private networks, or streaming high-definition video calls, cloud
content or live TV entertainment. In addition, Viasat's transport
category solutions, such as the Global Aero Terminal 5530, offer
enhanced service, capacity and coverage for privately-owned Airbus
and Boeing aircraft.

resellers of our in-flight internet solution, which is the
industry's fastest in-cabin business jet internet service on the
market, with the most available capacity," said Jerry Goodwin, vice president, Global Network

internet solution that will work on Viasat's next-generation
advanced global satellite network."
"GoAeroMx focuses on next-generation avionics solutions tailored
to a client's mission, needs and budget," said Neil Sparkman, vice president, Technical

equipment means our business jet customers can enjoy high-speed,

greater speeds, more capacity and enhanced performance available
