Fly FIVE Introducing the NEXT LEVEL in aviation by FIVE HOTELS AND RESORTS

The new service plans offer enhanced performance using Jet ConneX’s existing, highly successful JetWave terminal by Inmarsat’spartner Honeywell, and will also be compatiblewith three upcomingnext-generation terminals being developed by Satcom Direct, Orbit and Honeywell. Satcom Direct’s Plane SimpleKa-band system has commenced flighttesting and is expected to enter service later this year. All three next-generation terminalsuse innovativetechnology and lightweightdesigns to optimise performance,reduce costs, and simplifyinstallationand maintenance. Their reduced size and weight make them suitablefor various types of business jets, creating new opportunities in the fast-growing super midsize aircraftmarket,which shares many of the same connectivityrequirements as large aircraft.

Jet ConneX customers will also benefit from seven more Inmarsatsatellite payloads entering service by 2025, increasing its Ka-band network fleet to 12. This includes two Inmarsat-6s,both of which have already launched, followed by two payloads in highly elliptical orbit,enabling the world’s only commercialmobile broadband service for flightsin higher latitudes and across the Arctic.Three additionalsatellites will then launch in geostationary orbit, adding further speed, capacity, and resilience.

The combination of next-generation terminals and Inmarsat’s fast-growingsatellite network will enable speeds up to 100 Mbps, for top-tier customers that demand the highest level ‘office-in-the-sky’experience.

Collins Aerospace announced the launch of a new cost-effective, cabin connectivitysolution,allowing business jet operators - of all cabin sizes - to keep their passengers connected while in the air.

The Collins Aerospace IRT NX Satcom system for Iridium Certus® 700 is among the first certified connected cabin hardware and service solutions that can be installed and operated globallyon a variety of aircraftplatforms.Operators will enjoy an affordable, swift installation,as well as a reduction in overall connectivitycosts by up to 50%.

“Applications range from complementing existing KU/KA Band service in large cabins, to introducing cabin internet to small and medium size aircraft,” said Clotilde Enel Rehel, Executive Director of Programs Connected Aviation Solutions at Collins Aerospace. “This new cabin connectivity solution provides a cost-effective level of connectivity that makes it an attractive option for all business jet operators.”
