Aspire 400 Satellite Communications System
Overview
The Aspire suite of satellite communication offerings provides in-flight connectivity for business aviation, airlines and helicopters - anywhere in the world. Leveraging Inmarsat's satellite system, Aspire 400 brings greater reliability, cost savings and efficiency from pole-to-pole.
Aspire 400: Swiftbroadband for Cockpit and Cabin
The Honeywell Aspire 400 Satellite Communications System delivers high-speed voice and data communications for cockpits and cabins in a compact and lightweight package.
The L-band Aspire 400 system utilizes the robust, global Inmarsat I-4 satellite network providing connectivity to the aircraft via single or dual channel SwiftBroadband channels.
The system's 2-MCU Satellite Data Unit (SDU) transceiver unit contains two separate and independent SwiftBroadband channels for fully partitioned and segregated cockpit and cabin channels.
