JetConnex Inflight Broadband Close to Service Entry
JetConnex is being offered specifically for business aviation users and is based on the new Inmarsat-5 satellite constellation.

The new Inmarsat-5 satellite constellation is set to deliver unprecedented in-flight connectivity rates of up to 50 Mbps when it enters service for the aviation market in the first quarter of 2016. The JetConnex service designated specifically for business aircraft users is being marketed by various service providers, including Satcom Direct, Gogo, Arinc Direct and Satcom 1.

“This will bring true broadband service to the sky,” said Inmarsat business aviation vice president Kurt Weidemeyer, explaining that the service will be offered in subscription-based packages priced by the individual providers. “As an end user you can decide what you want to use. You could sign up for a specific package that would provide 10 Mbps [connection speeds], just as you do on the ground.”
