The SD Plane Simple Ka-band tail mount antenna installed on the SD Gulfstream G550
Satcom Direct, a business-aviation solutions provider, completes installation of the first Plane Simple® Ka-band antenna on a business jet. Equipped on the company’s SD Gulfstream G550, the prototype terminal, consisting of only two line-replaceable units (LRUs) — the tail-mount antenna and SD Modem Unit — is testing the advanced technology hardware’s compatibility with Inmarsat’s Jet ConneX inflight broadband service, powered by its Global Xpress constellation.
