3G and 4G LTE are Now Ready for Takeoff

The sky is no longer the limit for 4G LTE. For those in the UK who want to pass the time more quickly on their cross-country and international flights, that option is now available. Customers will be able to check their email, watch YouTube videos, or google information at new heights. The capability to utilize 3G or 4G LTE service on airplane flights is now approved by the European Commission. According to a spokesperson for the Commission, “This EU decision gives airlines the opportunity to allow their customers to use their smartphones and tablets in-flight. We’re saying there is no reason why passengers should be prevented from using their mobiles and their tablets during flights (when the plane is above 3000m).” Airline Carriers will still have control over whether to offer in-flight internet. Nevertheless, it seems practical for them to offer 4G service in order to deliver the best in-flight experience. It is seemingly necessary in this technological era to offer internet in some capacity. Some airline carriers could opt to charge passengers an additional fee to receive 3G and 4G LTE as part of a premium package. Ultimately, the demand for data traffic has increasingly been higher than the demand for voice traffic. This will indisputably contribute to a more pleasant flight experience for passengers. JetBlue’s slogan familiar slogan is fitting for this situation, “If you wouldn’t take it on the ground, don’t take it in the air”. 2G has become outdated on the ground and it’s no longer practical for airline use either. These steps for European Airlines will inevitable progress to other airlines throughout the world. In the past, the only internet service available to customers was 2G coverage, which made for sluggish and more frustrating service. The only current requirement remains that the plane must reach an altitude of at least 3,000 meters before internet service can used. Even this could evolve as UK airlines could be permitted to allow the use of personal electronic devices during all phases of flight within the next year.
