An aircraft in-flight entertainment (IFE) system for an aircraft includes
a radome to be carried by the aircraft, and a dual-beam satellite antenna
and at least one positioner coupled thereto to be carried by the aircraft
and protected by the radome. The dual-beam satellite antenna is to
generate dual antenna beams for television programming and Internet data
from respective spaced apart satellites. The dual-beam satellite antenna
includes a first aperture for receiving the television programming, and a
second aperture adjacent the first aperture for receiving the Internet
data. A television programming distribution system is to be carried by
the aircraft and coupled to the dual-beam satellite antenna to provide
television programming within the aircraft. At least one access point is
to be carried by the aircraft and coupled to the dual-beam 0satellite
antenna to provide a wireless local area network (WLAN) within the
aircraft for the Internet data.
