Inmarsat Outfits First Commercial Jet With SwiftBroadband Service

A Hawaiian Airlines-operated Boeing jet is the first commercial aircraft using Inmarsat's SwiftBroadband Safety offering, which provides transmission of data and messages to and from air traffic management and air navigation service providers to flights, and IP connectivity to the cockpit, Inmarsat said. SwiftBroadband is expected to be commercially available starting early next year.
