Honeywell JetWave Satellite System for Global Connectivity

The Honeywell JetWave Satellite System is a powerful tool for global connectivity. It provides high-speed internet access to aircraft, enabling seamless communication and navigation.

With speeds of up to 10 Mbps, the JetWave system is ideal for applications such as video conferencing, email, and social media. This allows passengers and crew to stay connected with the world below.

The system is designed to work in conjunction with Honeywell's satellite network, providing coverage over the entire globe. This ensures that aircraft can stay connected, even in remote or hard-to-reach areas.

In addition to its high-speed internet capabilities, the JetWave system also provides a reliable and secure connection.

Honeywell's new high-speed satellite communications system, JetWave X, has been successfully connected to Viasat's satellite network.

This achievement marks a major milestone in JetWave X's development and certification process, with a completion target set for the fourth quarter of 2025.

JetWave X offers business jets uninterrupted global coverage and delivers reliable, consistent high-speed connectivity comparable to what you'd experience in homes and offices.

Existing JetWave customers can expect a performance boost from higher speeds with the recently announced JetXP experience plans, and 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.

Here are some key partners and features of JetWave X:

Honeywell's Internet Solution offers a fast and reliable in-office internet solution that can be experienced at 40,000 feet in the air with speeds of up to 15Mbps.

Honeywell's JetWave Ka-band satellite communications system allows users to connect to Inmarsat's JetConneX service, specifically designed for business jets.

The Gulfstream G650, one of Honeywell's corporate jets, is capable of speeds of up to Mach 0.9 and fly-by-wire precision, making it the perfect aircraft for demonstrating Honeywell's high-speed connectivity.

During a demonstration in Sydney, Australia, attendees were able to download a movie, look at sports channels, and speak to family/friends on FaceTime while on board the aircraft.

Honeywell's JetWave system offers a tail-mount antenna for business jets, providing a convenient and efficient way to connect to the internet in the air.

ExecuJet, a Honeywell authorized dealer, has successfully installed their first JetWave system at their South African site, showcasing the capabilities of Honeywell's internet solution.

Honeywell's JetWave hardware allows users to connect to Inmarsat's Jet ConneX, a business aviation broadband connectivity offering that provides Wi-Fi for connected devices.

The multichannel satellite (MSC) JetWave terminals share the same antenna controller, modem, and router hardware with the business market, but have an MCS-8200 fuselage-mounted antenna.
