Southeast Airlines signs deal for in-flight Wi-Fi

Passengers on Southeast Airlines may soon be able to surf the Internet using
wireless Wi-Fi network capabilities as well as talk on their mobile phones, all
during flights, due to a new deal between SkyWay Communications Holding Corp. and
the airline carrier.

SkyWay said it signed a letter of intent with Southeast Airlines to install its
Sky Way Aircraft System on the entire fleet of Southeast Airlines’ aircraft. The
system includes high-speed wireless Internet, in-flight security and archiving of
monitored information, air filtration system monitoring and — upon approval —
cellular micro-cells for mobile-phone use.

The move comes as several major airline carriers have loosened restrictions on
mobile-phone use before takeoff and after landing.
