Plane Simple Ka Band Antenna – Coming Soon!
The Plane Simple Ka-band Antenna System will support the Inmarsat Jet ConneX service and is planned for marketing introduction in Q4 2022.
FUSELAGE MOUNT ESA – Coming Soon!
The new flat panel design for business and military aviation is an electronically-steered phased-array antenna system. Aiming to be the smallest, most efficient form factor, it is purpose fit for small to mid-size jets, where a tail-mounted antenna solution is not an option. Its lightweight, low-profile design will bring high-speed connectivity to a wide range of airframes.
Together SD, OneWeb and QEST will enable passengers and operators to be more productive and enjoy more leisure time during flight via global broadband connectivity. Market introduction of the flat panel, fuselage mounted, electronic phased array antenna is anticipated for availability in 2024, with OneWeb aviation services set to launch in 2023.
