Honeywell’s New High-Speed Satellite Communications System Successfully Achieves Over-The-Air Connectivity

PHOENIX, July 16, 2025 – Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) today announcedthat it has successfully connected its new high-speed-inflight connectivity system, JetWave^TM X, over the Viasat satellite network. With Honeywell’s JetWave X system, business jets owners and operators have access to uninterrupted coverage globally, delivering the sort of reliable, consistent, high-speed connectivity typically found in homes and offices. This new offering supports Honeywell’s alignment of its portfolio to three compelling megatrends, including the future of aviation.

“By successfully passing traffic over the Viasat network, JetWave X has reached a major milestone in our progress to complete its development and certification by the fourth quarter of this year,” said Jason Wissink, President, Services and Connectivity, Honeywell Aerospace Technologies. “JetWave X will unlock the full capabilities of Viasat’s global network, including existing and future ViaSat-3 and GX satellites, to provide consistent, high performance and fully redundant connectivity, all backed by Honeywell’s global field support team. For OEMs and MROs, the simplified product architecture will also make the new system even easier and faster to install than the current-generation JetWave system.”

“As long-standing partners in the business aviation industry, Viasat and Honeywell have a successful track record of constantly innovating and delivering world-class connectivity that stays ahead of customer needs,” said Kai Tang, Head of Business Aviation, Viasat. “The combination of JetWave X and our JetXP service will deliver an even greater standard of consistent, reliable and seamless in-flight broadband, complemented by Honeywell’s white-glove customer service and 24/7 support.”

Honeywell continues to support the current generation of JetWave systems that are operating today on approximately 2,000 business jets, and it expects these existing systems will experience a performance boost from higher speeds with the recently-announced JetXP experience plans. Existing JetWave customers will also benefit from faster installation times and an economical upgrade path to JetWave X.

JetWave X has already been selected by Bombardier and Dassault with specific availability dates by platform to be announced in the near future. Availability of JetWave X on additional business jet platforms is expected to be announced in the second half of 2025.
