Discover Your X-Factor with Aviation’s First Multi-Network Satcom
Steve Hadden
In-flight Wi-Fi makes your business jet a time machine with wings.
After all, time is a precious commodity and business aircraft passengers save up to 10 hours per trip compared to those taking a commercial flight. Now consider that the hours spent on a commercial aircraft, even in first class, are notoriously unproductive.
Meanwhile, the cabin of a business jet is like an office or living room in the sky where you can connect, stay productive or stay entertained from the moment you buckle in until you arrive at your final destination.
Today’s best Ka-band satellite communications systems are fast, reliable and almost always available. They’re so good you really only notice when you lose your connection for an extended period or see that dreaded blue spinning circle during an important videoconference. Thirty minutes or an hour offline in the air can feel like an eternity and spoil your plans for a productive flight.
JetWave X from Honeywell – business aviation’s first multi-network satcom system – is getting ready to change all that with groundbreaking speed and unprecedented levels of consistency made possible by its ability to shift seamlessly and automatically between available Ka-band networks to take advantage of better connections or more favorable data rates.
Multi-Network Capabilities Put the X-Factor in JetWave X
Whether you’re videoconferencing, downloading huge files or streaming the latest Hollywood blockbuster at 45,000 feet – you need internet speed that doesn’t leave you hanging. JetWave X will deliver download speeds of more than 100 Mbps in busy flight corridors. That’s up to 10 times faster than first-generation satcom systems.
JetWave X will be the first – and only – multi-network satellite communications system when it launches in 2025. It will connect seamlessly to the proven Inmarsat Global Xpress network, the current Viasat network, the new Viasat 3 network and future Ka-band satellites. Compatibility with future Ka-band networks is built into the open architecture of JetWave X, so operators can futureproof their aircraft.
Because coverage areas vary network-to-network, operators are unlikely to encounter dead spaces where no satcom signals are available. JetWave X is ready to connect to the Viasat 3 network when it comes online in 2025, which is two years earlier than any competing system.
JetWave X packs a lot of performance into a smaller package that is easier to install. It features fewer line-replaceable units and weighs about eight pounds less than earlier-generation satcom systems. Upgrading your aircraft from the current JetWave systems is affordable, fast and easy because you can use existing Ka-band radomes and wiring. This gives current JetWave operators a streamlined upgrade process and access to a special trade-in program.
The original JetWave satcom was introduced in 2017 to much acclaim from business aviation operators. More than 2,000 aircraft are flying today with JetWave systems onboard. JetWave is supported by a global network of satellite communications specialist, dedicated to helping customers solve connectivity problems and uncover solutions.
