Honeywell, Dassault Sign Agreement For JetWave X Connectivity

Honeywell has signed an agreement with Dassault Aviation to install JetWave X high-speed inflight connectivity system as a line-fit and retrofit in Dassault’s Falcon business jets. The system will allow them to operate with uninterrupted coverage globally, Honeywell says.

The JetWave X connects to Viasat’s Ka-band network, including the ViaSat3 and Global Xpress satellites.

“Fast, reliable in-flight data is more critical than ever before, and JetWave X will enable business jet owners and operators to seamlessly connect no matter where they fly while enjoying the same high-speed connectivity they expect on the ground,” said Jason Wissink, vice president and general manager, Services and Connectivity, Honeywell Aerospace Technologies. “Dassault Falcon customers will have access to flexible service plans and superior Honeywell support that will enable users to select the products and services aligned with their needs. For OEMs and MROs, a simplified product architecture will make the system easier and faster to install than the current-generation JetWave system and will provide an economical upgrade path to JetWave X.”
