FAA approves Honeywell's hardware for Inmarsat Global Xpress In-Flight Wireless Network

Honeywell Aerospace’s JetWave wireless in-flight connectivity system has received U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval for the Boeing 757. Honeywell’s JetWave is the exclusive hardware for aircraft to connect to Inmarsat’s Global Xpress, the high-speed broadband satellite network spanning the globe that will provide fast, seamless and reliable connectivity over both land and water. The certification validates the reliability and capability of Honeywell’s hardware to connect to Global Xpress (GX) Aviation service to provide passengers with the same high-speed Wi-Fi experience they get at home or in the office while traveling at 35,000 feet. JetWave and GX Aviation will enable fliers to have seamless access to onboard Wi-Fi to browse the Internet, check emails, stay connected on social media, watch videos and more, even on transcontinental flights. It also simplifies the path for U.S. government approval for the use of JetWave hardware on other aircraft.
