To all potential wireless Internet onboard users,
Would appreciate any input/suggestions from road- warriors like yourselves regarding the new service we are introducing in the spring of next year.
Best regards,

Wireless Internet onboard Scandinavian Airlines
Scandinavian Airlines has signed a contract with Connexion by Boeing for
the installation of wireless broadband on board. Installation will begin
in February 2004 and the entire long-haul fleet will be equipped a year
later.
Many customers want to be available while traveling and/or be able to
work efficiently on board. All SAS passengers will be able to connect
their portable PCs or PDAs and use Internet online, including, for
example, streaming audio/video. Those who want to log on to their
company's intranet and send/receive e-mail with attachments via the
Internet will also be able to do so more securely.
"The Nordic region is one of the world's most IT-dense areas and the
ability to communicate easily from the air was high on our passengers'
list of priorities," says Jens Willumsen, who is responsible for Market
& Product Management at Scandinavian Airlines. "This is why we have been
working for a long time to achieve a complete solution that meets our
customers' demands."
