JetWave X: The Easiest Upgrade in In-Flight Connectivity

The Easiest Upgrade in Aviation Connectivity:

For aircraft operators looking to stay ahead in the fast-paced evolution of in-flight connectivity, upgrading from JetWave to JetWave X offers unmatched simplicity, speed and long-term value. Designed with upgradeability in mind, JetWave X isn’t just Honeywell’s next-gen connectivity solution, it’s the most seamless way to future-proof your aircraft’s digital experience.

Minimal Modifications, Maximum Impact

One of the key advantages of upgrading to JetWave X is how little it demands from operators. The retrofit requires only minor structural and wiring modifications, with just three line-replaceable units (LRUs) to swap out, and the JetWave X antenna fits easily into the existing JetWave tail mount.

This streamlined process reduces downtime and installation costs, making it ideal for operators that can’t afford extended ground time.

Future-Ready Architecture

JetWave X connects with today’s most advanced satellite networks—including ViaSat-3 and Global Xpress from Viasat—and is built to support future Ka-band networks. Operators can roam between multiple networks, optimizing performance and cost based on flight path and bandwidth availability.

For current JetWave users, the upgrade unlocks access to uncapped speeds over 200 Mbps, advanced data management tools, 24/7/365 global support, and a suite of flexible service plans including PayGo, regional, global and unlimited options.

It’s a leap forward in performance without a leap in complexity.

Operational and Financial Efficiency

From a business perspective, upgrading to JetWave X is a smart investment. Its simplified architecture reduces installation complexity and maintenance costs, while Honeywell’s global white-glove support ensures you’re never flying blind. Compared to our competitors, JetWave X delivers superior service, consistency and true global coverage.

It also supports Honeywell’s broader vision of hyper-connectivity—enabling aircraft to dynamically switch between networks for uninterrupted service, even in regions with regulatory restrictions or network congestion.

A Clear Path Forward

For operators already flying with JetWave, the path to JetWave X is clear, cost-effective and efficient. It’s more than an upgrade, it’s a strategic move toward a more connected, flexible and future-ready fleet.
