Bombardier (BBD.A) has announced that Iridium Certus connectivity will now be a standard feature on all Challenger 3500 aircraft.
Working with Collins Aerospace, Bombardier’s preferred service provider for connectivity, the new offering will enable customers to enjoy a seamless in-flight experience while being highly productive.
With a top connection speed of 704 Kbps, Iridium Certus provides a strong foundation for connectivity needs.
The new service is supported by a constellation of more than 66 cross-linked satellites, offering a global network with the lowest latency and the largest coverage.
All present operators of Challenger 300 and Challenger 350 aircraft will be able to retrofit the new service through Bombardier’s extensive service centre network.
Nate Boelkins, Vice President and General Manager Business and Regional Avionics at Collins Aerospace, stated that the new system will allow operators to benefit from faster speeds, lower weight, and smaller antenna footprints, making it more efficient for passengers in the cabin.
Bombardier’s Challenger family has been the best-selling super mid-size platform for the past eight years.
The Challenger 3500 is the first business jet in the super mid-size segment to have an Environmental Product Declaration published, documenting the aircraft’s environmental footprint over its lifecycle.
Bombardier provides business jet design, manufacturing and services.
Bombardier (BBD.A) stock opened today at $58.33.
