Viasat expanded JetXP satellite network capacity nationwide for US business aviation customers with aircraft equipped with Honeywell Aerospace JetWave terminals, according to AeroTime. The company says the increase applies to network capacity, not to a guaranteed fivefold rise in an individual passenger’s download speed.
Key details
- The expansion was initially available in the eastern United States before Viasat extended it nationwide, AeroTime reported. - Customers receive the capacity improvement through a software update. Existing customers can contact their service provider to check eligibility and arrange the update. - AeroTime reports that more than 2,100 aircraft worldwide use JetXP.
Viasat says available JetXP network capacity increased fivefold for customers using Honeywell JetWave terminals.
Why it matters
The nationwide expansion makes the increased network capacity available to eligible JetWave-equipped business aircraft across the United States. AeroTime also reported that a Viasat and Corporate Jet Investor survey found 48% of respondents named reliability as their top connectivity consideration, while 70% ranked coverage among their top three.
What happens next
Existing customers can contact their service provider to check whether their aircraft qualifies for the software update. No further timeline for the update was announced.
