Gulfstream Aerospace has selected Honeywell’s suite of satellite communication solutions for its new G500 and G600 aircraft.

Under the contract, Honeywell will provide the AMT-700 antenna and MCS-7120 system that facilitate access to Inmarsat’s SwiftBroadband satellite communications service.

With the AMT-700 and MCS-7120 systems, passengers will gain improved voice and data connectivity in the cabin and cockpit, and stay connected while travelling at 40,000ft.

Honeywell Aerospace business and general aviation global sales vice-president Mike Beazley said: "Honeywell has worked with Gulfstream to bring the latest technological developments to the company’s fleet for years.

"We are working together to ensure that everyone who steps onto a Gulfstream aircraft has the most advanced and comfortable experience possible."
