Connexion by Boeing is working with Tokyo-based Space Communications Corporation (SCC) to build out an Asia-Pacific gateway for its in-flight connectivity service. Specifically, Connexion by Boeing will lease transponder capacity on SCC's SUPERBIRD-C satellite located at 144 degrees east, providing the mobile information services provider with satellite coverage that supports the Asia-to-Europe airline routes. In addition, SCC will establish and operate a satellite gateway (ground station) at the Ibaraki Satellite Control Center north of Tokyo. Financial terms were not disclosed.
