Shopping online has just been taken to new heights--literally. Today, shoppers can surf the web even in the air, thousands of feet above ground. Global Web, a global payment processing company, takes a look at the new technology that enables us to use the internet on board flights.
The ability to connect with others has just been amplified. Now, there is new technology that connects us to the internet even during flights. Global Web, which enables merchants to securely transfer money from their customers to their bank accounts, takes a look at this new technology, and what it means in the world of payment processing. Certainly, people will take advantage of this technology to work, study, shop and stay connected with others while flying.
So, how does the technology work? The company that grant airline passengers internet connection owns cell phone tower which, instead of sending signals down to the ground, sends them outwards into the sky. Airplanes that has been setup to accommodate the wireless internet service come equipment with special receivers that pick up the signals. Then, the signal data is distributed throughout the airplane through a wifi system. In order to use the system, passengers must input their email address and complete a CAPTCHA test.
For now, the service is available only when flying over continental United States and parts of Alaska. However, its not long before wifi will become available even during international flights. Soon enough, companies will be using satellite technology to grant passengers on international flights internet access. Indeed, it may only be a matter of two years of less before you will start video chatting from on board your flight to Asia!
Global Web, with its interests in the online payment processes, will be paying close attention to developing trends in the online market. Will consumers be shopping a whole lot more now that they can do it aboard an airborne aircraft? What kind of long term effect will this technology have on the economy, not only due to consumer habits but also due to increased business activity (now that people can work while flying)? As a whole, this new technology will likely stimulate the economy. With people buying and selling even more, Global Web will be there for each of its clients to ensure that every transaction is an efficient and secure one.
