SPECIAL FEATURE: CABIN CONNECTIVITY<br />
satellite signals with marine, commercial aviation or other users<br />
the Ku-band is consistent and global. Currently there are still a few<br />
black spots for Ka-band reception too – over the poles is the most<br />
common, but this is being rectified as new satellites are launched.<br />
Cost of outfitting aircraft and equipment size makes it prohibitive<br />
for all but the super-mid to large cabin aircraft to access the highspeed<br />
Ka-band services, but that is changing too.” – Michael Skou<br />

HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH REGULATORY<br />
ISSUES IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES<br />
AROUND THE WORLD?<br />
“Regulatory requirements come in two forms: First is the standard<br />
process to certify our hardware to be installed on an aircraft<br />
registered to a specific country. Second are the data governance<br />
policies for each country regarding landing and fly-over rights for<br />
different frequencies.<br />
Honeywell is an industry leader in hardware certification for<br />
aircraft globally and we have global and regional teams that make<br />
certain our hardware complies with each countries’ certification<br />
standard. Honeywell works with our capacity providers to ensure<br />
that data governance policies are complied with in each country<br />
to be certain that our corporate jet customers know where the<br />
equipment and frequency ranges they have installed can be safely<br />
and legally operated throughout the world.” – Bret Aldieri, Senior<br />

WHAT DEVELOPMENTS WILL WE SEE IN<br />
THE NEXT FEW YEARS?<br />
“It is now the era of “connected.” There are advances occurring in<br />
antenna technology and maturity in wide band, dual-pole phased<br />
array antennas as well as electronically steered array antennas. To<br />
accommodate the constantly evolving technology requirements,<br />
we are also leveraging the advancement of technology that will<br />
allow data to flow through flight operations in real time that enables<br />
actionable insights, making it much easier to know all aspects of<br />
