Honeywell and Inmarsat have finalised the critical design review of the GX Aviation aircraft avionics on schedule. The GX Aviation aircraft avionics is built to deliver ‘home equivalent’ high-speed, consistent wireless internet connectivity when you are flying. This new product is expected to be introduced during the first half of 2015.
Completion of this major milestone follows the successful launch of Inmarsat-5F1, the first of three Ka-band satellites, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, Russia on 8 December last year. The next two satellites are schedule launch later this year providing full global coverage by the end of 2014.
The GX Aviation is the first, truly global, high-speed, in-flight connectivity service that will provide data rates of up to 50Mbps so that you can update your social media, email or live-stream TV while flying from virtually anywhere in the world over both land and sea.
