Gogo Inflight Internet Service Takes Off With Venturi Wireless Optimization

Aircell Deploys Venturi's Data Optimization Solution

SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 16 -- Venturi Wireless, a global provider of mobile broadband optimization solutions, announces that Aircell, the leading provider of airborne communications, has deployed its data optimization products. After a successful initial deployment in 2009, Aircell has decided to expand its use of Venturi's optimization solution throughout its groundbreaking Gogo® Inflight Internet service.

Venturi's patented operator-grade solutions maximize network efficiency and deliver the most compelling mobile subscriber experience available for both data and multimedia applications. Additionally, the Venturi Mobile Operator solution controls network costs by substantially reducing the amount of traffic on the network. Venturi's solutions have long optimized applications like web and video for subscribers of mobile operators on the ground. Now with this deal, Venturi has vaulted into the most exciting new segment for mobile Internet access, air travel.

Anand Chari, Aircell's Vice President of Engineering commented, "We continuously seek out various ways to provide our customers the best user experience possible. Venturi's optimization solutions enable us to significantly accelerate subscriber internet access, while simultaneously reducing our network costs."

"We are delighted that Aircell, the market leader, has decided to grow its relationship with Venturi, and excited to continue our leadership in this important market segment," said Tomas Isaksson CEO of Venturi Wireless. "We are proud whenever we receive repeat business from a satisfied customer.  With this deployment, passengers everywhere in North America can enjoy a superior inflight Internet experience when using Gogo."

Fundamental to the entire solution is Venturi's Adaptive Airlink Optimization,(TM) which combines transport optimization, application optimization, and predictive compression. Adaptive Airlink Optimization applies the ideal optimization techniques based on the available bandwidth to boost application performance and efficiency under all radio frequency (RF) conditions.
