[Via Satellite 11-01-2016] Honeywell has announced it will offer high-speed, high-bandwidth satellite communications capabilities for military use. Inmarsat’s Global Xpress “satcom as a service” in-flight broadband service and Honeywell’s JetWave satellite communications hardware work together to provide a consistent, high-speed, high-bandwidth connectivity experience for military users around the world, improving overall situational awareness and safety while allowing troops to communicate more effectively, the company announced.

Honeywell recently achieved type approval from Inmarsat for JetWave aeronautical terminals, which enable access to the Global Xpress network and provide a more connected flying experience while over land or sea.
