Mobile satellite communications specialist Inmarsat has taken the wraps off the Honeywell avionics designed to support the company's high-speed global broadband service GX Aviation.
The hardware is due to be commercially available by early-2015 for either forward-fit or retro-fit, says Miranda Mills, Inmarsat's aerospace vice president.
"GX Aviation is going to change the face of in-flight connectivity and the expo provides us with the perfect opportunity to reveal the avionics for the very first time," she says. "With our fleet of three satellites under construction by Boeing, and the first scheduled for launch this year, avionics represent the final segment which turns Global Xpress from a concept into a reality, which visitors to the stand can touch and feel."
