Aircell, the Itasca-based company of Internet network providers on a flight that has been in operation since 3 years ago, plans to use EVDO rev B technology in 2012. GoGo network expansion also includes the use of ka-band (satellite), which is planned to cover the entire territory of the United States in 2013 and is expected to cover all flights in the world in 2015. Some airlines are already using Aircell including United Airlines, American Airlines and Delta Air Lines.
During the operation, Aircell has success with the service that they refer as the Air to Ground (ATG) technology, which offers 3G CDMA EVDO Rev. A wireless Internet connections while on the plane, and the latest roadmap announced in March 9, 2011, they called a GoGo tech, is a new version of ATG (dubbed ATG-4) which will use EVDO rev. B technology in mid-2012 and of course provide more options for airlines to choose one of several technologies that offered by Aircell. And companies that already use the ATG service, promised a low cost to upgrade to the ATG-4 (EVDO rev. B).
In addition to EVDO Rev. A (ATG) and EVDO Rev. B, Aircell is also planning to expand the technology used to satellite-based technology (Ka-band) as part of its Gogo service is packaged in ATG-4. This Satellite-based network is expected to cover what they called a CONUS (continental United States) in 2013 and worldwide in 2015.
CDMA EVDO Rev. B is the development of the CDMA20001x and EVDO Rev. A developed by Qualcomm. Since its introduction, EVDO Rev. B ever recorded has been tested in several regions in Asia such as Korea, China and Bali (Indonesia). However, this network seems to be a not favorite despite offering speeds of up to approximately 2.4 Mbps (tests done on the bullet train that moves beyond 150 miles / hour. Wikipedia.
Both in Asia and the USA, so far the wireless internet connection provider companies such as Verizon and Sprint considerable success using 3G EVDO rev. A technology. But progress toward a 4G network did not appear to lead to EVDO Rev. B, but to LTE (long term evolution), and carriers such as Verizon Wireless have begun to develop LTE since 2010 that they refer to as VZ4G (Verizon Wireless 4G). While the other CDMA technology-based carriers, Sprint, choose WIMAX (also known as IEEE 802.16e network) as the successor to their 3G EVDO Rev A network, and the Sprint's latest news reported that Sprint is building (secretly) LTE network as their next 4G service.
