Bombardier, a global leader in aviation, has announced that it will equip all Challenger 3500 aircraft with Iridium Certus connectivity as a baseline feature. This new offering, in collaboration with Collins Aerospace, Bombardier’s Preferred Service Provider for fleetwide connectivity services, will support the aircraft’s exquisite on-board experience and ensure heightened productivity.
With a top connection speed of 704 Kbps, Iridium Certus provides a strong foundation for connectivity needs, with the lowest latency and the largest coverage, stretching from north to south and from east to west. The constellation of more than 66 cross-linked satellites ensures a truly global network with higher data speed for optimal efficiency and a seamless in-flight experience. All present operators of Challenger 300 and Challenger 350 aircraft will be able to install this new service as a retrofit in Bombardier’s extensive service center network.
