Successful launch of the S-band satellite for the EAN

Deutsche Telekom’s partner Inmarsat has confirmed the successful launch of the S-band satellite, a key milestone for the companies’ joint pioneering broadband solution, the European Aviation Network (EAN).

Ariane5 rocket start

The Inmarsat S EAN satellite was launched by Arianespace on an Ariane5 rocket.

The Inmarsat S EAN satellite was launched on June, 28th, by Arianespace on an Ariane5 rocket at 23.15 CEST / 17.15 EDT from the Centre Spatial Guyannais (Guiana Space Centre) in Kourou. The European Aviation Network (EAN) is the first solution in the world to integrate connectivity from a satellite, operated by Inmarsat, and a complementary LTE-based ground network, operated by Deutsche Telekom. It allows European flight passengers to use their personal devices for internet browsing, video streaming, gaming and other online services, with unmatched high capacity, low-latency performance.
