Boeing has installed one of its Business Jet craft with the eXConnect inflight wireless internet services, the company has announced.

The service will enable both passengers and crew members to use the wireless internet service to access online services on any Wi-Fi enabled device, including laptops and smartphones.

“The eXConnect system installed on the Boeing 737 continues to exceed our expectations, and we are very excited to show customers, OEMs, and other groups the true broadband experience made possible by our Ku solution,” Paul Margis, chief executive of Panasonic Avionics, said in a statement.

The company said passengers will be able to experience speeds of up to 50Mbps.
