How do airlines like Emirates provide wifi/mobile network at 30000ft? What technology is used for data/signaling. Any network diagram/call flow?
That would be helpful, thank you.
Sure thing. Here is a diagram that shows the basics of inflight connectivity: (sends diagram) As for the call flow, it can vary depending on the system used by the airline, but generally, it involves the passenger's device sending a request to the satellite, the satellite relaying the request to the ground station, and then the ground station forwarding the request to the internet. The response would then travel through the same path in reverse to reach the passenger's device.
