GENEVA, May 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell
(NYSE: HON) signed an agreement with Empire Aviation Group to
provide its full suite of GoDirect connectivity services and
products for the cabin and cockpit. The technologies, developed by
Honeywell's recent acquisition, Satcom1, will be installed on the
entire fleet of aircraft managed by Empire Aviation Group.
The selection of hardware and airtime services supplied by
Honeywell will enhance crew and passenger productivity, as well as
boost passenger entertainment for Empire Aviation Group's business
jet owners and charter clients. Honeywell's products include the
AvioIP cabin router, which helps enable more reliable in-flight
connectivity for passengers by giving them an "office in the sky"
experience with enhanced Internet access, email, videoconferencing
and smartphone usage. Pilots will also have access to Honeywell's
Global Data Center in the cockpit, where real-time flight support
and weather information services help them increase efficiency,
measure fuel usage and avoid delays.
"Our all-in-one 'GoDirect' approach to connectivity helps
aviation management companies like Empire Aviation Group add value
in a market that relies heavily upon technology for the best
possible flying experience," said Michael
Edmonds, vice president, Aerospace Services and Connectivity
at Honeywell Aerospace. "Honeywell is on the cutting edge of
quickly evolving airplane communication technology. This agreement
demonstrates the breadth of Honeywell's products and services, as
well as our ability to deliver on the potential for vastly improved
aerospace connectivity."
Uniting Honeywell's software and hardware capabilities gives
operators a seamless experience with a "one-stop-shop" connectivity
platform spanning routing software, airtime, hardware equipment,
electronics and flight support services. Customers have access to
integrated and custom solutions to meet their connectivity needs,
with a much greater global reach.
"There is high demand for connectivity solutions that help
passengers stay connected in flight and provide pilots with the
real-time information they need to enhance the flying experience,"
said Paras P. Dhamecha, executive director, Empire Aviation Group.
"Unifying our cabin and cockpit services through one unique
provider means we can deliver the highest level of service to our
aircraft owners and charter clients, satisfying their appetite for
connectivity now and in the future."
