Baysys Technologies Seeking STC For Installation
Virginia-based BaySys Technologies, an interior
engineering, design, completions, and conversion firm, is pursuing
an STC from the FAA to add voice and e-mail connectivity to
aircraft at both ends of its customer spectrum
... a single engine Cessna 210 and a Boeing B-777 ...
using ICG's NxtMail/ CIS-100 core Iridium system .
Cessna 210
BaySys Technologies has developed a mounting kit using a concept
that combines an ICG NxtMail Server and CIS-100 into an easily
installed package. The mounting kit enables aircraft that are not
otherwise equipped to easily add worldwide Blackberry email
connectivity and a single channel of Iridium voice services. The
kit design was completed in Accomac in March and the STC is
expected to be completed by the end of April 2011 on both aircraft
types.
“This is a unique approach to add a single channel of
Satcom and Blackberry connectivity to a single engine aircraft or
to supplement the existing cabin communications of an air transport
category airplane,” said Ray Larkin, Regional Manager at ICG.
BaySys Technologies Director of Flight Operations, David Lumgair
explained, “This started out as a plan to add Blackberry
messaging to our Cessna executive aircraft, but as we were
developing the installation, it became obvious that we could offer
the same package to our VIP completions. The design combines the
CIS- 100 and NxtMail server into a small, lightweight platform that
can be easily installed onto most aircraft and it’s
economical and very efficient. We anticipate a lot of
orders.”
