European Aviation Network

EAN LTE-based ground network

The integrated EAN ground network component consists of about 300 LTE base stations across the 28 EU member states, plus Switzerland and Norway.

EAN LTE-based ground network

EAN’s ground network is quite different from “normal” LTE networks: it can work at speeds of up to 1,200 km/h and at heights of 10 km to reach the airplanes overhead.
