Cracking rise today.If you value this as a technology stock , it is still showing an unusually healthy yield as the header says.

Honeywell International Inc. (HON) and Boeing Co. (BA) have struck a deal to research and develop technologies for new high-speed, in-flight wireless connectivity on Boeing platforms in a push to address the increasing demand for faster, more reliable in-flight connectivity on iPads, smartphones, tablet devices and laptops while over land and crossing oceans.

Honeywell Aerospace Vice President of Marketing and Product Management Carl Esposito said the current in-flight connectivity landscape offers "a narrow field of overland flight paths in the U.S. and select international markets, is unreliable, and does not adequately address passengers' burgeoning desire for a true global in-flight connectivity offering."

The deal includes Boeing's 787, 777, 737NG and 747-8 airliners.

The agreement will allow Boeing and Honeywell to jointly research, test and develop the hardware, software and potential services that will use GX Ka-band satellites, powered by Inmarsat PLC's (IMASY, ISAT.LN) Global Xpress constellation, and begin the process needed to support GX Ka-band equipment installation aboard new aircraft in 2015.

Honeywell touted Global Xpress as being able to offer "unprecedented" data rates and bandwidth and said this will provide the same experience as terrestrial broadband. It said travelers will be able to do everything from real-time social media updates to videoconferencing and multimedia presentation development while in flight, virtually anywhere in the world.

From a business standpoint, the company said the Honeywell-developed hardware and system for GX Aviation will offer new services to aircraft operators, airlines and air traffic control such as predictive maintenance and better aircraft communications.

Honeywell and Inmarsat signed an agreement last year to provide global in-flight connectivity services, under which Honeywell exclusively will develop, produce and distribute the onboard hardware that will enable users to connect to Inmarsat's GX Aviation network.

The first Inmarsat GX Ka-band satellite, being built by Boeing, is expected to launch late this year. Inmarsat and Honeywell continue to track toward making global service ava

678 triggered a sell limit of mine today. I shall continue to hold most of mine as still reasonable prospect of £8 again I think , but prob a few bumps to come .

[ygor705] 11/3/2013 12:17

I was happy with the results.........still a core holding for me although not expecting anything explosive on the growth side for the moment. Solid dividend is attractive.

[wad collector] 08/3/2013 10:18

If the LightSquared issues are extracted , the upwards progress looks reasonably secure to me. The USD nature of the figures makes the USD strength rather relevant to our dividends!
I am holding onto most of my stock too ; but couldn't resist taking some profits.

Broker thought they were pretty good fwiw.

[eipgam] 20/2/2013 14:48

It's a quandary, to be sure.

although the ath is over £8

[wad collector] 20/2/2013 14:24

Time to sell into the rise ?
This market strength recently may be misplaced - are we really out of the woods?
Greed or pragmatism? It is a 2 yr high and didn't go that much higher in the heady days of 2008/9.
