Iridium-Based Tracking To Be Used Across Support And Serivces
Divisions
A handheld, Iridium-based tracking and messaging solution called
HawkEye-PT developed by Blue Sky Network has been selected by Bell
Helicopter to track all aircraft en route from Bell's service
center in Piney Flats, TN, to destinations across the globe.
Bell's services and support division is responsible for state of
the art customization, aircraft refurbishment, maintenance, repair
and overhaul solutions, personalized service offerings, and more.
It is responsible for ensuring completed, refurbished and/or
repaired aircraft make it to their final destinations on time and
in perfect condition.
"The Blue Sky Network solution was an ideal fit for us as it's
completely portable, so we can use it on one aircraft one week and
a different one the next. This solution offers both tracking and
messaging. Reliability is even more important. We ship
multi-million dollar aircraft everywhere and we need to know where
they are at all times and be able to reach out to them at any time.
The PT was the right choice for meeting all these needs," said Dan
Berndt, Product Manager for Bell Helicopter Piney Flats.
"Bell's flexibility and reliability needs would have been
addressed by any Blue Sky Network Solution, as all our solutions
are easily configurable and tap the Iridium satellite network, but
their unique need for portability as well made our hand-held
HawkEye PT the best fit," said Blue Sky Network CEO and Founder,
Jon Gilbert.
