Bombardier will be the first manufacturer to offer high-speed Ka-band in-flight Internet conductivity in a business aircraft, with Honeywell’s new JetWave satcom system to be available for delivery aboard the Canadian aircraft manufacturer’s Global series starting in 2016, the companies announced this morning. In 2012, Honeywell signed an exclusive agreement with satellite operator Inmarsat for its Global Xpress (GX) Aviation communication network and developed hardware, now known as JetWave, to support it. For business aviation applications, Global Xpress is now known as Jet ConneX (JX).
