Honeywell has launched version 3.0 of its AvioIP cabin router software, developed by the company’s Satcom1 asset. The software improves the inflight connectivity experience for passengers and aircraft owners by supporting the latest satellite communication technologies, including Inmarsat’s JetConneX.
“Business jet passengers’ demand for fast and reliable inflight connectivity will be a reality with the latest software update, similar to what passengers experience while on the ground in their daily lives. As the update is compatible with multiple routers, our customers will have greater flexibility and increased choice in hardware selection, which is unlike built-in systems currently on the market,” said Brian Sill, president, commercial aviation, Honeywell Aerospace.
The update includes centralised management of the network, so aircraft owners can modify bandwidth depending on traffic usage and user preference. It also gives business jet owners greater flexibility and tighter cost control through individual billings per usage, instead of traditional wholesale aircraft billing.
