With the new service options, Inmarsat partner Honeywell offers improved performance by utilising Jet ConneX’s already-proven JetWave terminal.
Additionally, the three new next-generation terminals being developed by Satcom Direct, Orbit and Honeywell as well as Jet ConneX’s existing popular JetWave terminal by Inmarsat’s partner Honeywell are all compatible with the new service plans.
Kai Tang, Inmarsat’s head of business aviation, noted how the delivery of broadband solutions shows an insight into the future of the business aviation sector: “Jet ConneX is renowned for delivering a very high standard of service and these transformative new plans once again highlight Inmarsat’s continued focus on staying ahead of market expectations.
