Briefing
Viasat is reporting a fivefold capacity increase for JetXP across the Eastern U.S., achieved via Honeywell JetWave and Gogo Plane Simple Ka‑band terminals, which directly raises usable bandwidth for business‑jet operators and onboard services. See recent JetXP tests using Viasat‑3 for context: https://hype.aero/?story=d7285171-f152-42a1-a4d9-cda6814d4906
The capacity boost arrives amid constrained Viasat fleet capacity after the company pushed the second Viasat‑3 launch to late 2025, making terrestrial terminal and network optimisations critical to avoid service degradation in the near term: https://hype.aero/?story=52064f6c-a99c-464e-b66b-f6c43d34f992
The move sits within a competitive/technology shift across business and airline IFC, where operators are adopting multi‑vendor satellite solutions (including Starlink STCs for business jets); capacity upgrades like this affect retrofit demand and partner selection: https://hype.aero/?story=596b85da-7980-4f36-b911-029a39850674
