On Sept. 21, Thales Alenia Space announced that they will cooperate with Honeywell to integrate Inmarsat Global Xpress aviation Ka-band sitcom avionics and antenna systems with Thales' cabin network solutions.


This action is to provide commercial airline operators and passengers with four times in usual available connectivity bandwidth during flying and to start real-time TV channel watching, social media connectivity, virtual office capability and video conferencing.


Boeing is building the Inmarsata Global Xpress satellites at its facilities in El Segundo, Calif. In the latter of the year 2013, the first three Global Xpress started its plan.


Jack Jacobs, Vice President of Honeywell stated that Inmarsat's GX Aviation Ka-band satellite connectivity system is a game changer, also continues their tradition of providing the commercial aerospace market with innovative, proven and reliable products. And they expect this connectivity system will provide airlines with obviously larger bandwidth at a cost-effective price.
