starlink logo

Flying is getting smarter: thanks to the partnership between United Airlines and SpaceX with Starlink, ultra-fast internet above the clouds is no longer a vision, but a reality. Passengers can now work, stream or stay in touch with their loved ones seamlessly - and at a speed that is unrivalled to date. However, it's not just the technology, but also the lighting on board that makes a significant contribution to well-being. In this article, we show you how high-speed internet and sophisticated lighting are revolutionising the travel experience.

1 United Airlines and Starlink: A revolution in aviation


With the introduction of Starlink Internet, United Airlines is taking the flying experience to a new level:


Ultra-fast connection:With speeds of up to 350 Mbit/s, passengers can also work, hold video conferences or stream series during the flight.


Seamless coverage:Thanks to the Starlink satellites, internet is available even over remote regions such as oceans or polar zones.


No data limit:Unlike previous systems, there are no restrictions on usage - ideal for long-haul flights.


👉 Did you know? Just like the internet on board, the lighting can also influence the travelling experience - from productive to relaxing.

2 The role of lighting in modern aircraft

Lighting in aeroplanes is far more than just functional - it creates a pleasant atmosphere and promotes the well-being of passengers:


Circadian lighting:State-of-the-art LED systems adapt the light colours to the time of day and passengers' biorhythms to reduce jet lag.


Indirect lighting:Discreet light sources on the ceiling and under the overhead compartments create a pleasant atmosphere.


Reading lamps:Personalised reading lamps allow passengers to work or read individually without disturbing others.

3. tips for your personal travel set-up

With high-speed internet and well thought-out lighting, not only your flight but also your home will be smarter:


Travel preparation:Pack a compact LED lamp to create optimum lighting conditions at airports or in hotels.


Home office during the flight:Combine a laptop like the LG Gram with Starlink Internet to work efficiently and productively.


Sustainable lighting:Use energy-efficient LED lights at home to reduce your environmental impact.

4. combining technology and lighting: inspiration for your home


The interplay of high-speed internet and intelligent lighting on board United Airlines can also enrich your home:


Smart lighting control:Use smart home systems to automatically adjust your lighting to suit your activities - whether for work, relaxation or entertainment.


Indirect lighting for rest periods:As in aircraft cabins, warm white light creates a calming atmosphere.


Work lighting for maximum productivity:Use cool, daylight-like LEDs for your workspace to stay focussed even after a long-haul flight.


5 Conclusion: Comfort and technology above the clouds and at home (Starlink & United Airlines)
