About Inmarsat Services

The JetWave™ system is made up of a fleet of Ka-band broadband satellite network from Inmarsat. The
geostationary satellites have high power Ka-band steerable and fixed spot beams that supply global in-flight
connectivity services to business, commercial, and government aviation customers around the world.
The JetWave™ AES provides Ka-band communication utilizing an airborne VSAT. The AES communicates
through a satellite to an SAS. TX and RX interface provided within the AES enables two-way communication.
The forward channel provides a communication path from the SAS to the AES. The return channel provides
a communication path from the AES to the SAS.
The JetWave™ system may not be available on the ground or in the air in certain geographical areas.
Some countries do not allow access to this service in their airspace. The service availability would also
depend on the country in which the aircraft is registered with. The aircraft operators may approach the
respective Value Added Resellers/Distribution Partners for further details where JetWave™ services are
not available.
