Bombardier has opted for Iridium Certus connectivity service for its Challenger 3500 super-midsize twin, the Montreal airframer announced today. The Challenger 3500 is the first aircraft in its class to be equipped with Iridium Certus as a baseline feature, Bombardier noted. The L-Band service offering, developed in collaboration with Collins Aerospace, is also available for retrofit on Challenger 300/350s through Bombardier’s service center network.

Iridium Certus provides connection speeds of up to 704 Kbps, which Bombardier said provides a strong foundation for connectivity with low latency and global coverage through the Iridium Next constellation of more than 66 cross-linked satellites.
