SwiftJet, Viasat’s fastest-yet L-band aircraft connectivity service, recently completed over-the-air and flight testing through a Honeywell terminal upgrade. The tests successfully demonstrated four-channel aggregation over Viasat’s satellites and radio access network through the Honeywell HD-710 multi-channel satellite certification terminal.

“SwiftJet’s results represent a major leap forward for L-band connectivity,” said Mark Goodman, senior director of product management for Honeywell Aerospace. “Honeywell and Viasat have now proven the technology from end-to-end across the satellite network, giving our customers confidence to proceed with SwiftJet commercial deployment and entry into service by the end of the year.”
