JetWave X builds on a long-standing collaboration between Honeywell and Dassault to enhance the business jet experience.
Honeywell has signed an agreement with Dassault Aviation to install JetWave X, a high-speed in-flight connectivity system, on Falcon business jets. The system will be available as both a line-fit and retrofit option, enabling seamless global coverage.
“Fast, reliable in-flight data is more critical than ever before, and JetWave X will enable business jet owners and operators to seamlessly connect no matter where they fly while enjoying the same high-speed connectivity they expect on the ground,” says Jason Wissink, vice president and general manager, Services and Connectivity, Honeywell Aerospace Technologies.
JetWave X operates on Viasat’s Ka-band network, including ViaSat-3 and Global Xpress satellites, and is compatible with future Ka-band networks, allowing owners to switch between multiple providers for optimal connectivity and cost efficiency.
“The best level of connectivity is essential for living and working on board our fleet of long-range aircraft,” says Carlos Brana, executive vice president, Civil Aircraft, Dassault Aviation.
Dassault offers FalconConnect, a suite of connectivity services powered by Honeywell, which supports 3G/4G, Wi-Fi, Inmarsat L-Band, Iridium, and Jet ConneX Ka-Band. The JetWave X system is expected to be available in 2026, with retrofit options for existing aircraft.
