Inmarsat, GDC, ThinKom Update GX Antenna, Terminal Options
Check out Seth Miller's Oct. 28th post on PaxEx.Aero announcing the next-gen terminal jointly developed for Inmarsat's GX Aviation inflight connectivity solution. A few excerpts:
The next-generation terminal includes a robust flat-panel antenna developed by ThinKom, which has millions of flight hours behind it.
In addition, it has been integrated with smart dual aero modem technology that supports all of Inmarsat’s current and future GX satellites, including the GX+ network. Airlines using the legacy terminal cannot roam on to the GX+ Hughes network today.
This next-generation terminal for GX Aviation is not only lightweight and low drag but also boasts one of the lowest engineering failure rates in the market.
