Passenger demand will see Satcom installations on narrowbody aircraft grow substantially in the next several years, as global communications capability becomes an expectation, not just a convenience for business travellers, says Honeywell.
The Honeywell/Racal satellite communications team has launched an upgrade of its multi-channel systems suited to narrowbody use.
The upgraded MCS-6000 and MCS-3000 multi-channel Satcom systems support new Inmarsat third-generation services for Aero I and spot-beams.
Ideally suited to narrowbody aircraft, intermediate-gain Aero I capability will allow airlines to offer passengers global communications for phone, fax and PC data for all land mass areas and most oceanic regions.
