GDC Technics颁发的补充型号合格证可为波音和空客飞机配备霍尼韦尔JetWave卫星通信连接硬件设备

                                                                       
       2014年12月17日，中国上海－霍尼韦尔航空航天集团（纽约证券交易所代码：HON）已与飞机改装中心GDC Technics签署一项协议，将在波音和空客现役公务及商用飞机中安装霍尼韦尔JetWave™卫星通信系统。GDC Technics是美国最大的飞机改装公司之一，总部位于美国德克赛斯州圣安东尼奥市。

       JetWave是霍尼韦尔卫星连接硬件产品线的品牌名称。霍尼韦尔JetWave硬件设备将独家支持国际海事卫星组织（Inmarsat）计划于2015年上线的Jet ConneX（JX）服务。借助霍尼韦尔JetWave硬件设备，无论是飞越陆地还是横跨海洋，乘客均可接入高速、稳定和可覆盖全球的空中无线网络连接服务。

       GDC Technics将为霍尼韦尔JetWave硬件颁发补充型号合格证（STC），允许将其安装在波音公务机、空客公务机和商用机等多种机型上。    

       霍尼韦尔航空航天集团公务与通用航空全球销售副总裁Mike Beazley表示：“霍尼韦尔与GDC Technics签署此项协议后，波音和空客运营商很快就能配备目前市面最先进的空中网络连接系统之一，从而升级它们的飞机。Jet ConneX通过无线互联网将高速、稳定且覆盖全球的空中网络连接服务引入到驾驶舱和客舱中。我们看好此项技术的市场前景，特别是长途商务飞机和贵宾专机。”

       GDC Technics将为空客A319、A330和A340机型，以及波音737、747、777和787机型研发JetWave的 STC。商务航空运输和私人飞机运营商都可以要求GDC Technics在飞机上安装JetWave 硬件；与此同时，GDC Technics也将向其它改装中心出售STC。

       借助霍尼韦尔JetWave硬件设备，乘客可以接入国际海事卫星组织提供的JX服务，从而在飞行中进行视频会议、收发大型文件，以及在线观看高清电视和电影节目。此外，运营商借助JetWave还可以在飞机和地面之间传输更多数据，从而提高运营效率，并降低维护成本。

       GDC Technics 普通合伙人Mohammed Alzeer 表示：“高速、稳定的空中无线网络连接将是一项改变航空航天业的技术。与霍尼韦尔签署此项协议后，我们很快将为各国首脑、贵宾和商用航空运输机提供前所未有的连接体验。在当今这个‘时刻在线’的社会中，飞行期间保持联网的能力不再是‘可有可无’的少数优势，而正迅速成为一种普遍期待；这种趋势使得霍尼韦尔JetWave硬件和国际海事卫星组织的JX服务成为运营商的一项重要差异竞争力。”

       GDC Technics是一家老牌飞机改装中心，总部设在得克萨斯州圣安东尼奥市。多年来，GDC赢得众多认证，包括美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）认证，欧洲航空安全局（EASA）145部认证，以及设计机构认证（DOA），并通过了ISO 9001、AS9100和AS9110质量管理体系认证。公司在改装波音787等新一代机型方面引领行业风潮。（www.gdctechnics.com）

       Jet ConneX（JX）是国际海事卫星组织基于GX Aviation所提供的公务航空网络连接服务的全新品牌名称，也是首个能够为全球乘客提供与办公和家庭环境中同样稳定的无线网络体验，无论他们是飞越陆地还是横空海洋。

GDC Technics’ Supplemental Type Certificates to enable Boeing and Airbus aircraft to be retrofitted with Honeywell’s high speed JetWave satellite connectivity hardware

       DUBAI United Arab Emirates, Dec. 8, 2014 – Honeywell Aerospace (NYSE: HON) has signed an agreement with San Antonio-based aircraft modification center GDC Technics to bring the Honeywell JetWave™ satellite communications system to in-service Boeing and Airbus business and commercial airplanes.

       JetWave is Honeywell’s brand name for its range of satellite connectivity hardware that exclusively supports Inmarsat’s forthcoming Jet ConneX (JX) Wi-Fi service*. When it comes online early in the second half of 2015 the service will bring consistent, high speed in-flight Wi-Fi to aircraft across the globe over both land and sea.

       GDC Technics will develop Supplemental Type Certificates (STC) for Honeywell’s JetWave hardware on Boeing and Airbus aircraft, including those in Boeing Business Jet, Airbus Corporate Jet and Commercial configuration, enabling it to install the equipment on the aircraft.

       “Through this agreement with GDC Technics, Boeing and Airbus operators will soon be able to easily upgrade their aircraft with one of the most advanced and capable in-flight connectivity systems on the market,” said Mike Beazley, vice president Global Sales, Business and General Aviation, Honeywell Aerospace. “Jet ConneX will bring high speed, consistent global in-flight internet connectivity via Wi-Fi to the cockpit and cabin and we expect to see significant demand for the technology, particularly for long haul commercial and VIP planes.” 

       GDC Technics will develop JetWave STCs for Airbus A319, A330 and A340 aircraft as well as the Boeing 737, 747, 777 and 787. Both commercial air transport and private jet operators will be able to turn to GDC Technics for JetWave hardware installation on their aircraft, while GDC Technics will also market the STCs to other completion centers.

       Via the Inmarsat JX service Honeywell’s JetWave is capable of delivering broadband speeds similar to those that people experience in their homes and offices, allowing passengers to video-conference, send and receive large files and stream high quality television and movies while on the move. It will also allow operators to stream more data between the ground and the aircraft, improving operational efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.        “High speed, consistent in-flight Wi-Fi over land and sea is a technology game-changer for the industry; through this agreement with Honeywell we will soon be bringing to VIP, Heads of States and Commercial air transport aircraft around the world unprecedented  levels of connectivity,” said Mohammed Alzeer, GDC Technics General Partner. “In today’s always-on society the ability to stay connected while in the air is fast becoming an expectation rather than a nice-to-have, making the JetWave hardware from Honeywell and JX service from Inmarsat an important differentiator for operators.” 

       GDC Technics is a seasoned aircraft modification center based out of San Antonio, Texas. Holding multiple approvals including FAA and EASA 145 approvals and a Design Organization Approval (DOA). GDC is also certified to ISO 9001, AS9100 and AS9110 quality management systems. It is leading the industry in modifying next generation aircraft such as the B787. (www.gdctechnics.com)

       Jet ConneX (JX) is Inmarsat’s new brand name for its GX Aviation-based business aviation connectivity service - the first in-flight connectivity service capable of delivering a consistent home and office experience to passengers around the world, regardless of whether they are flying over land or sea.
