Abstract
Systems, methods and devices for mobile ground-to-air and air-to-ground communication network acceleration. The aircraft-based data acceleration device, system and method creates a faster connection to increase data throughput by accelerating, compressing (when possible) and or caching frequency transmitted data streams. The data communication network acceleration system and method integrates use of acceleration, compression, and caching technologies in the ground-based communication system and the aircraft-based data communication accelerator and corresponding onboard data communication router.
