Embraer announced today the selection of Honeywell's JetWave Ka-band technology to power the Lineage 1000E business jet's high-speed data connectivity through Inmarsat's Jet ConneX satellite service. The first Lineage 1000E with this new feature will be delivered in the first quarter of 2018.

“Since entering the market, Embraer Executive Jets has been committed to rethinking convention in business aviation by introducing innovative technologies, higher performance standards, and premium comfort for a superior flight experience,” said Luciano Castro, vice president programs, Embraer Executive Jets. “This is just one more way that the Lineage 1000E delivers on its promise of enhancing every customer's experience.”

Honeywell's JetWave technology connects to Inmarsat's Jet ConneX satellite service, which delivers speeds of up to 15 Mbps and seamlessly integrates with the Honeywell Ovation Select entertainment system onboard the Lineage 1000E to deliver high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the aircraft's 750 sq. ft. (70 sqm), divided into five distinct zones.

The loft-size cabin, with aft private suite, mid-section lounge with three seating areas, dining area, and crew lounge forward of the cabin, provides passengers the ideal venue for enjoying much faster and more reliable in-flight Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing video streaming and cloud content access from any of these areas. With a performance equivalent to that of a home or office, the conditions are ideal for continuous business productivity as well as for entertainment enjoyment through personal digital devices or on the aircraft's media center, which delivers high definition video with 5.1 surround sound.

The ultra-large Lineage 1000E is Embraer's largest executive jet and can carry up to 19 passengers in five cabin zones. The enhanced interior design of the Lineage 1000E is reflected in the new seats, electric doors, refreshed galley and cabinetry design, automatic tables, improved acoustic comfort, and other cabin amenities.

The aircraft features the fully digital, high definition, Honeywell Ovation Select entertainment and cabin management system, controlled with an iPad. A fully integrated media center conveniently concentrates multiple media devices and video inputs, including game consoles, and delivers high definition video and audio on a 5.1 surround sound system.

The aircraft's range of 4,600 nautical miles (8,519 kilometers) with eight passengers, including NBAA IFR fuel reserves, means that the jet is able to fly nonstop from London to Beijing, or London to Miami.

The Lineage 1000E is equipped with the latest electronic fly-by-wire flight control system, and offers the optional Autoland, which conducts approach, touch down, and a five-second rollout, when the autopilot is engaged.
