Company Will Increase International Presence
Aero-News learned this week the
ICS-200 Iridium Communications System from International
Communications Group (ICG) has received a Supplemental Type
Certificate (STC) for all installations onboard the Learjet 60.
Available through Aero-Dienst GmbH & CO., a European
distributor of ICG products, the STC received certification from
the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the European Union's
civil aviation regulatory body.
"Our communications systems offer users clear, reliable and
secure voice and data communications between the aircraft and the
ground anywhere on the planet over the Iridium network," said Armin
Jabs, president of ICG. "Achieving EASA airworthiness certification
is an important milestone in ICG’s quest to continue to
increase international acceptance of its systems and confirms that
the ICS-200 is meeting or exceeding expectations in terms of
performance and environmental friendliness."
The ICS-200 incorporates dual Iridium transceivers with an
internal CTU and permits connections of conventional telephony
devices or legacy CTU systems through either standard 2-Wire "Tip
and Ring" circuits or 4-Wire audio connections. CTU features
include intercom calling, call transfer, conferencing and follow-on
dialing.
The device also offers standard dialing conventions and PABX
operations with familiar call progress tones.
As ANN reported last year,
the ICS-200 was also selected for installation Bombardier's latest
bizjet, the Challenger 605.
