Satcom Direct first distribution partner to activate Inmarsat’s Jet ConneX service for business aviation customers

Satcom Direct was the first business aviation distribution partner to prove its services and transmit data over Inmarsat’s new Ka-band Global Xpress network via the Inmarsat-5 F-1, F-2 and F-3 satellites. Now, it is the first to activate Jet ConneX service for business aviation customers. Jet ConneX is the high-speed broadband service for business aviation that operates over Inmarsat’s new Global Xpress (GX) constellation. Now available to customers, it delivers a new standard for satellite communications, supporting high data rate applications in flight, including streaming videos and holding video calls. The service is initially available on new aircraft manufactured by Jet ConneX-ready OEM partners.
