Bombardier has begun initial deliveries of Globals equipped with its new Wave (Wireless Access Virtually Everywhere) Ka-band satcom that incorporates Inmarsat JetConnex broadband along with Honeywell JetWave satcom hardware. Last year, the company became the first business jet manufacturer to announce plans to offer the system as an option and it has since secured Transport Canada certification for installation in the Global family.

In addition to new installations, the Canadian manufacturer has made the Wave system available for retrofit, and the first installation, on a Global 5000, was recently completed at the company’s Singapore center. The first few systems have been helping to beta-test the JetConnex broadband that is ready to go live. Zetta Jet, which operates a fleet of Globals, was the first customer to take delivery of the system from Bombardier.
