Fastest-ever Jet ConneX launched by Inmarsat
Inmarsat's new JX-Pro package enables high speed connectivity with unlimited data usage across all major routes. And looking to the future, the company will launch a new generation of satellites to enhance its service.

Global mobile satellite communications company Inmarsat has created a brand new top-end package for its Jet ConneX business aviation inflight broadband solution. It offers unlimited data usage and 33 per cent higher speeds compared to the service's previous fastest plan. The new JX-Pro package is available for new and existing Jet ConneX customers.

Jet ConneX is the only global, high-speed inflight broadband option available in Ka-band for business jets today. Powered by Inmarsat's wholly-owned and operated network of high-throughput satellites, it provides fast and reliable connectivity in the air, similar to what has previously only been available on the ground, with coverage across 100 per cent of major routes.

Inmarsat Aviation senior vice president Kai Tang says: “Jet ConneX has received an extremely positive response from the business aviation market. More than 500 installations have already been completed and take-up rates show no signs of slowing down.

“We strive to evolve the service in response to market feedback, as the launch of JX-Pro today has shown. Demand is expected to be strong and we look forward to rolling out the ground-breaking new capabilities of this package offering with our global network of partners.”

Jet ConneX will benefit from Inmarsat's confirmed investment in new Ka-band payloads to further enhance its global service, with new satellite launches scheduled in 2019, 2020 and 2021. In addition, planning is currently under way for Inmarsat's next generation of satellites.
