Hawker Beechcraft Business Jets to Feature Aircell Connectivity
Source: fly-corporate.com
Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) has selected two new Aircell connectivity systems for its line of midsize Hawker business jets.
Beginning in 2010, customers taking delivery of new Hawker 750 and 900XP aircraft can select either Aircell High Speed Internet or Aircell's SwiftBroadband systems to provide passengers with on-board e-mail and Internet access. Either installation will permit passengers with Wi-Fi enabled devices such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and laptop computers to send and receive e-mails, surf the Web, watch streaming video, or access a corporate Virtual Private Network (VPN) to download files, just like they would in an office or Internet site on the ground. Both are available to Hawker customers as modular add-ons to the Aircell's Axxess cabin system. Monthly data usage charges are applicable.
The company will also begin delivering its Hawker 900XP and Hawker 750 aircraft with Rockwell Collins Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) capabilities as standard, beginning in 2010.
