Honeywell JetWave MCS-8000/MCS-8200 Satcom Solutions
Honeywell’s JetWave™ satellite communications terminals enable global connectivity via Inmarsat Aviation’s Global Xpress Ka-band network. Designed to provide broadband-class data connectivity, the hardware and network are optimized for mobility to provide a consistently outstanding passenger experience all over the world.
The MCS terminals share the same RF and antenna controller, modem and router hardware, with a tail-mounted antenna (MCS-8000) available for business aviation and a fuselage-mounted antenna (MCS-8200) for larger air transport sized aircraft.
