Panasonic Avionics, Lake Forest, Calif., is entering the business aviation market, announcing a plan to install its connectivity system on VIP aircraft.

In an announcement Tuesday at the NBAA conference in Orlando, the company said three business aviation customers operating 14 aircraft will install its Global Communications Suite, which includes the eXConnect broadband system, Wi-Fi enabled eXPhone, eXTraBandwith and the Panasonic Airborne Television Network. The first customer, a Boeing Business Jet operator, will receive its Panasonic-equipped aircraft in November.

The agreements represent the first full foray by Panasonic Avionics into the business aviation market. The company has provided connectivity system components to the market before, but the Global Communications Suite will be the first system integration in business aircraft.

“Office in the sky has never really achieved its promise,” said David Bruner, Panasonic Avionics vice president of Global Communications Services. “This system delivers that type of bandwidth.”
