Transceiver Fits 'Any Size Aircraft'
ICG is extending on-board global telephone and Wi-Fi
communication capabilities to any size aircraft, including small,
owner-flown single engine models, by introducing an affordable,
single channel ICG NxtLink Series CIS-100 transceiver. The
standalone device permits connections of conventional telephone
devices or legacy Private Automated Branch Exchange (PABX) systems
via standard 2-wire "Tip and Ring" circuits or a 4-wire audio.
Packaged with ICG's NxtMail server, it offers a solid Wi-Fi
solution, as well.
"In response to significant customer recommendations, we have
developed the CIS-100 as a simple, low cost device that will give
any aircraft the added safety, convenience and connectivity that
owners and operators have only recently been able to acquire for
their much larger, more sophisticated business and personal
aircraft," noted Jeff Saucedo, ICG's Vice President of OEM Sales.
"It is a small , light weight, flange mount design weighing only 3
½ pounds, but it provides up to three telephone connections,
intercom calling, call transfer, conferencing and follow-on
dialing. It's an ideal solution for smaller aircraft operators who
are seeking seamless global communications without the
inconvenience of no-service areas," he explained.
Utilizing the global Iridium satellite network, the CIS-100 will
allow users to receive inbound or place outbound calls.
Additionally users are able to place calls on hold, conference,
transfer, or simply perform station to station functions.. It can
be packaged with ICG's NxtMail Server to provide wireless Internet
connectivity (Wi-Fi), as well. Its audio level can be adjusted up
to +/- 20 dB of gain or attenuation per extension or through the
Iridium channel, to optimize voice quality, even in a noisy
environment, or to accommodate various types of handsets. It can
also be ordered with credit card calling services to support
charter and frational ownership type aircraft, as well.
