Say Goodbye to Data Sticker Shock with Honeywell Forge

Providing your passengers with fast, reliable in-flight Wi-Fi is a basic requirement these days. You can choose from any number of flexible airtime service plans and now, thanks to Honeywell Forge, you don’t have to worry about overrunning your plan limits.

Honeywell Forge is our new all-in-one solution for business aircraft operators. Honeywell Forge is a comprehensive service portfolio that provides in-flight connectivity, flight planning and optimization, and flight database services in a single seamless platform.

It starts with airtime services tailored to your specific needs and use patterns. Regardless of the connectivity hardware and frequency band you use, Honeywell Forge has the ideal airtime service plan that will get you connected and keep you connected, with data-management tools so you avoid costly overages.

We’ve teamed up with leading network providers like Inmarsat, Iridium and ViaSat to provide a range of airtime service plans that can be tailored to your specific requirements to provide the passenger experience you expect.

For example, we offer the aviation industry’s first pay-as-you-go data plan for aircraft using Honeywell’s JetWave satellite communications system and Inmarsat’s Jet ConneX Ka-Band broadband network. The plan requires no monthly data-use commitment and no data restrictions, so you won’t leave data on the table at the end of the month.

Regardless of the hardware, network and data plan you choose, Honeywell Forge keeps you informed and puts you in control of your data consumption. The intuitive Honeywell Forge dashboard lets you monitor one aircraft or an entire fleet. You’ll know each aircraft’s connectivity status and how much data is being used at any given moment.

Honeywell Forge includes a wide range of data management features that help you squeeze the best possible performance out of the available data pipe to enhance the customer experience.

Routing updates, non-urgent data, video streaming and even certain passengers use and demand massive data. The platform gives you the ability to improve transmission speed by controlling the content sent and received during flight.

Honeywell Forge puts you in control by preventing personal devices from downloading routine updates and other non-urgent data. It also restricts bandwidth consumed by data-hungry applications, like video streaming, with minimum impact on video quality. You can even allocate bandwidth to different devices and charge passengers based on the data they use.

Using the unique features embedded in the Honeywell Forge solution, you’ll be able to get a handle on your in-flight data use and permanently avoid sticker shock when you open your airtime services bill.
