Passengers flying on several airlines across the Americas should expect to see reliably higher inflight Wi-Fi speeds now that Viasat’s ultra-high-capacity ViaSat-3 F2 (VS3 F2) geostationary satellite has officially entered service.
随着Viasat超高容量ViaSat-3 F2（VS3 F2）地球静止轨道卫星正式投入使用，乘坐美洲多家航空公司航班的乘客预计将体验到可靠更高的机上Wi-Fi速度。
In the Americas, Viasat counts Aeromexico, Azul, American, Breeze, Delta, JetBlue, LATAM, Southwest and United among its customers.
在美洲，Viasat的客户包括墨西哥航空、Azul、美国航空、Breeze、达美航空、捷蓝航空、LATAM、西南航空和美联航。
“Rollout on VS3 F2 is already underway: several airlines are already connected with more onboarding each day,” Viasat told Runway Girl Network after announcing VS3 F2’s entry-into-service on September 17, and with it, the completion of its three-satellite ViaSat-3 constellation.
“VS3 F2的部署已经在进行中：多家航空公司已经接入，每天还有更多航空公司加入，”Viasat在9月17日宣布VS3 F2投入服务、并由此完成其三颗卫星组成的ViaSat-3星座后，对Runway Girl Network表示。
VS3 F2 joins the VS3 F1 satellite that has been supporting inflight connectivity on U.S. mainland-Hawaii routes, as well as VS3 F3, which entered service over Asia-Pacific in late August and has notably plugged a key gap in Viasat’s near-global coverage.
VS3 F2加入了VS3 F1卫星的行列，后者一直为美国本土至夏威夷航线的机上连接提供支持；同时加入的还有VS3 F3，该卫星于8月底在亚太地区投入使用，并显著填补了Viasat近乎全球覆盖中的一个关键空白。
Together, the entire ViaSat-3 constellation triples the bandwidth available across Viasat’s fleet, giving the network more capacity, flexibility and resilience to meet growing demand for connectivity onboard planes.
整个ViaSat-3星座共同将Viasat机队可用的带宽提升至三倍，为网络提供更多容量、灵活性和韧性，以满足飞机上日益增长的连接需求。
Now, Viasat says it’s ramping up to have its entire VS3-enabled customer fleet connected “in the coming month or so.”
Viasat表示，目前正在加快进度，计划”在未来一个月左右”让其全部具备VS3能力的客户机队完成连接。
VS3 F3 is bellwether
VS3 F3是风向标
Since VS3 F3 entered service over APAC, thousands of flights have availed of the Ka-band GEO satellite’s capacity and new tails are coming online daily.
自VS3 F3在亚太地区投入使用以来，已有数千个航班使用了这颗Ka波段地球静止轨道卫星的容量，每天都有新飞机接入。
Indeed, metrics from VS3 F3 usage serve as an indicator for what to expect with VS3 F2.
事实上，VS3 F3的使用指标可以作为预期VS3 F2表现的一个指标。
Viasat says:
Viasat表示：
VS3 F3’s advanced beam-forming steers bandwidth in real time to where demand is highest, so a full cabin gets capacity concentrated where it’s needed rather than spread thin, which matters more as passengers move from seatback screens to streaming and working on their own devices.
VS3 F3的先进波束成形技术将带宽实时引导至需求最高的地方，因此满舱乘客能够在需要的地方获得集中容量，而不是被稀释分散。随着乘客从椅背屏幕转向在自己的设备上流媒体播放和工作，这一点变得更加重要。
Early results? Service quality metrics are up across the board. Latency, availability, reliability, and speeds.
早期结果如何？服务质量指标全面提升。包括延迟、可用性、可靠性和速度。
Some have improved by over 10x. Median peak throughput (i.e., typical consumption) is up 3x so far — a strong sign passengers are engaging more with the service.
部分指标提升超过10倍。中位峰值吞吐量（即典型使用量）迄今提升了3倍——这是乘客更多使用该服务的有力迹象。
Given that the lion’s share of its mainline fleet including international widebodies are fitted with Viasat’s IFC hardware, Delta will utilize all three high-capacity ViaSat-3 satellites to power its Delta Sync free Wi-Fi for loyalty members. That should equate to a far better experience for guests.
鉴于达美航空大部分主线机队（包括国际宽体机）都配备了Viasat的机上连接硬件，达美将利用全部三颗高容量ViaSat-3卫星为其忠诚会员的Delta Sync免费Wi-Fi提供支持。这应该会为旅客带来更好的体验。
One might argue that VS3 F2 and F3 are hitting at just the right time, as some Delta passengers have vocalized consternation that the U.S. major’s service compares unfavorably to the SpaceX Starlink Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satcom solution rolling out across rival United’s fleet.
有人可能会认为，VS3 F2和F3来得正是时候，因为一些达美乘客曾公开表达不满，认为这家美国大型航空公司的服务与竞争对手美联航机队正在铺开的SpaceX Starlink低地球轨道（LEO）卫星通信方案相比处于劣势。

公司简介
“The Viasat network is designed to address the growing demands of connected mobility, and aviation remains one of the clearest demonstrations of what that means in practice,” says Viasat Aviation president Don Buchman.
“Viasat网络旨在满足日益增长的互联移动需求，而航空仍然是这一点在实践中最为清晰的体现之一，”Viasat航空总裁Don Buchman表示。
“The digital world has become a fundamental part of culture — how we communicate, work, socialize and relax. The ViaSat-3 constellation’s flexible, high-capacity throughput further enables passengers to behave online in the skies as they do at home, through a network capable of delivering both scale and resilience, now and well into the future.”
“数字世界已成为文化的基本组成部分——我们如何沟通、工作、社交和放松。ViaSat-3星座灵活、高容量的吞吐能力进一步使乘客能够在空中像在家中一样上网，通过一个能够同时提供规模和韧性的网络，无论是现在还是未来很长一段时间。”
While speed is just one factor in high-quality IFC performance, passengers “should expect service quality metrics to go up across the board, including reliably higher speeds,” Viasat tells RGN.
虽然速度只是高质量机上连接性能的一个因素，但乘客”应该预期服务质量指标全面提升，包括可靠更高的速度，”Viasat对RGN表示。
Residential gets a boost as well
住宅服务也得到提升
Also of note, pricing has come down for Viasat’s U.S. residential service and its Wi-Fi appears to be available in more areas. This is a direct result of VS3 F2 entering service.
另外值得注意的是，Viasat美国住宅服务的价格已经下降，其Wi-Fi似乎在更多地区可用。这是VS3 F2投入服务的直接结果。
Viasat reveals it will soon deliver “enhanced broadband performance for residential customers across the U.S. with improvements in customer experience,” while extending its reach to serve more markets nationwide.
Viasat透露，它将很快为”全美住宅客户提供增强的宽带性能，并改善客户体验”，同时扩大覆盖范围以服务全国更多市场。
