JetWave X High-Speed Satellite Communications Hardware
Overview
Whether you are traveling on a business aircraft, flying with an airline or using connectivity to achieve your mission, JetWave and Honeywell Forge have you covered. JetWave's powerful connectivity delivers high-speed internet no matter where you travel or what your objective.
Designed to provide broadband-class data connectivity, the hardware and network are optimized for mobility to provide a consistently outstanding passenger experience all over the world. Passengers can experience the same Wi-Fi connection at 40,000 feet as they would on the ground.
These two MCS (Multi-Channel Satcom) configurations use identical RF and antenna controller, modem and router components, with the only difference being that the MCS-8000 uses a tailmounted antenna and the MCS-8100 uses a fuselage mounted antenna. Both systems include a common RF and antenna controller, modem and router.
