A Satcom Direct-developed terminal for the Inmarsat Jet ConneX broadband service has moved a step closer to commercial service after successfully communicating over the air with an Inmarsat satellite, the companies announced late last week. Meanwhile, a complete prototype unit of Satcom Direct’s Plane Simple Ka-band antenna system is scheduled for completion later this year, followed by design verification, testing, certification, and commercial service introduction in 2023.
