Viasat’s ground-breaking new SwiftJet in-flight connectivity service delivers seamless global coverage across flight routes and maximum speeds of 2.6 Mbps, up to six times faster than its SwiftBroadband L-band business aviation solution. This allows passengers to stay connected with colleagues, friends and family wherever and whenever they fly, with the ability to communicate over email, text, instant messaging and video calls, browse the internet and social media, and even enjoy single device streaming. SwiftJet uses enhanced hardware from Viasat’s partner Honeywell that can be installed on a broad range of aircraft. SwiftBroadband customers that migrate to SwiftJet will benefit from a simple, convenient upgrade to Honeywell’s existing terminals, without needing to replace any externally mounted aircraft equipment. New customers, meanwhile, will experience the same ease of installation as with any Viasat L-band terminal. Viasat has three distribution partners for SwiftJet – Collins Aerospace, Honeywell Aerospace and Satcom Direct.
