Wireless Alaska

Wireless Alaska

Alaska Airlines plans to launch inflight wireless Internet service through Row 44 by next year. Passengers with wi-fi enabled devices will have high-speed Internet access, e-mail, virtual private networks and stored inflight entertainment content. Row 44’s satellite-based system is designed to function over land, water and across international borders, enabling service throughout Alaska’s route system. Alaska Airlines and Row 44 have been working together over the last two years to bring onboard wireless to Alaska’s customers and the airline plans to equip its entire fleet after initially testing the Row 44 system on Boeing 737 aircraft.
