MCS-8000 Honeywell JetWave Tail Mounted Antenna (TMA)

MCS-8000 HONEYWELL JetWave Tail Mounted Antenna (TMA)

Honeywell’s JetWave™ satellite communications terminals enable global consistent connectivity via Inmarsat Aviation’s Global Xpress (GX) Ka-band network.

Designed to provide broadband-class data connectivity, the hardware and network are optimized for mobility to provide a consistently outstanding passenger experience all over the world.

Passengers can experience the same Wi-Fi connection at 40,000 feet as they would on the ground.

These two MCS (Multi-Channel Satcom) configurations use identical RF and antenna controller, modem and router components, with the only difference being that the MCS-8000 uses a tail mounted antenna and the MCS-8100 uses a fuselage mounted antenna.
