European operators have a number of choices to equip their aircraft with inflight connectivity. Now they can take advantage of a qualified satcom installation from Carlisle Interconnect Technologies to support Inmarsat’s Global Xpress Ka-band satellite-powered Internet service on Airbus A320 family aircraft.
CarlisleIT says it has received a new Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) from EASA covering installation of all aircraft structural provisions – outside aircraft equipment and electrical integration packages – for the Honeywell JetWave Ka connectivity system. JetWave transmits connectivity service via Inmarsat GX.
Manufactured at CarlisleIT’s Franklin, Wisconsin factory, the installation kits are certified for application on A319, A320, and A321 aircraft.
