The Ku band that Panasonic's system utilizes is inferior to ATG or the Ka satellite band.
Regardless, power at the seats is long overdue for Westjet
Agreed. GOGO's hybrid ATG/satellite solution is far superior than Panasonic. GOGO use satellite for the downlink and the ATG for the uplink. Thus GOGO can provide much faster speeds than Panasonic's satellite only solution.
