German telecoms operator Deutsche Telekom (DT) has announced it has successfully carried out tests of direct data communications using Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology between an aircraft and a wireless network on the ground with Alcatel-Lucent and Airbus. When commercial, the solution will be able to provide in-flight mobile voice and broadband data communications services cost-effectively. Using a direct-air-to-ground communication system based on LTE, the technology will be able to provide a more efficient, cost-effective alternative to satellite, offering high speed connections for passengers via onboard Wi-Fi and onboard cellular services.
