Rockwell Collins (Booth Q113) is expanding its offerings for high-speed satellite communications services, having been named a value-added reseller for Inmarsat’s Global Xpress (GX) high-speed ka-band satcom for the government aviation market.
Typical customers in this market are head-of-state and VIP aircraft, and they “have specific requirements when it comes to high-speed connectivity,” according to Dave Poltorak, vice president, business and government aviation services for Rockwell Collins. This includes reliable and secure global satcom. “Combining GX with our current service offerings provides government customers with a portfolio of connectivity options and value-added services that enable a full range of applications for command and control, flight deck and mission support services,” he added.
Rockwell Collins’s decades of experience working with government customers makes the company the right partner for reselling GX services, according to Inmarsat Global Government president Andy Start. “Working together, this service will enable us to meet the rapidly growing demand for high throughput connectivity for the mission-critical operations that government aviation customers require. Rockwell Collins is a key stakeholder in bringing the full portfolio of Inmarsat government aviation services to this critical market.”
