- xp84 2mo agoGiven that the whole wi-fi systems on planes are all very old unless the planes have Starlink, I wouldn't assume it's even remotely new. Note: Not that it wouldn't be possible to have even SOTA wi-fi 7 and still use the same old legacy satellite uplink WAN connection, it's just that I can't imagine what airline would consider that "upgrade" worth taking airplanes out of service for to perform, when it wouldn't do jack to increase the speeds people would get.
- zinekeller 2mo agoEven if there's newer equipment, Protected Management Frames (PMF) compatibility with older laptops (for example) would be problematic. This is also the reason why WPA2/WPA3 co-existence mode fails on older equipment that is compatible with "normal" WPA2 (because PMF is mandatory in WPA2/3 coex mode).
