Raytheon Technologies and
Vista bring LuxStream Unlimited Data plan to
customers
May 24, 2023
Raytheon Technologies' (NYSE:
RTX) Collins Aerospace business announced its plan
to bring unlimited data to the customers of Vista, a
leading private aviation group. Using Collins'
LuxStream, which runs exclusively on the SES's
high-throughput satellite (HTS) network, Vista
customers can now enjoy fast, reliable, unlimited
internet access for the duration of their flights.
Since 2019, Vista has installed
LuxStream on more than 75 aircraft in its fleet.
Now, LuxStream will be installed on more than 100
aircraft. The HTS hardware and solution, exclusive
to Collins, allows customers to conduct video
conference calls, stream videos, and send emails
while inflight.
"Our relationships with Vista
and SES deliver exceptional in-flight connectivity
experiences to customers," said Jen Schopfer,
president of Connected Aviation Solutions at Collins
Aerospace. "A flat hourly rate for global Wi-Fi is a
market first, but just the latest in a series of
customer-centric innovations that has come from our
years of collaboration."
Nick van der Meer, Chief
Operating Officer of Vista, said, "At Vista, we are
always looking to enhance the customer experience.
Whether flying for business or leisure, we know
high-speed connectivity, without data limits, is a
key value proposition for our customers. Owing to
the speeds, many of our customers prefer LuxStream
for their in-flight connectivity, and we can now
give them unlimited data simply by connecting to the
aircraft's Wi-Fi."
"LuxStream is the result of a
tremendous collaboration between SES and Collins
Aerospace. Our network of high-throughput satellites
enables Vista's passengers to experience the same
kind of high-speed connectivity services they enjoy
on land. This announcement marks the next step in
delivering premium services and meeting the needs of
business aviation providers and passengers
globally," said Steve Collar, CEO of SES.
