Honeywell has been selected as an authorized reseller for SmartSky Networks' air-to-ground services for North American business aviation operators. This agreement expands Honeywell's work with SmartSky, which began in 2019 when Honeywell was named a reseller by SmartSky for the commercial aviation market.
The new air-to-ground connectivity from SmartSky provides Honeywell customers with another option for high-speed internet connectivity that delivers a user experience like that found at home. Honeywell is also a provider of Inmarsat's GX Aviation via satellite, which is powered by Honeywell's JetWave™ hardware. In addition, Honeywell offers safety solutions that provide direct data link communications between pilots and air traffic controllers via L-band satellite networks.
SmartSky's air-to-ground network leverages 5G technologies to provide a reliable, more secure and affordable in-flight connectivity (IFC) solution for airlines and business aviation operators that want full-functioning IFC.
