Pre-Certification Expected To Be Completed By The End Of
March
International Communications Group (ICG) is working with Aero
Industries of Richmond, VA, to obtain an STC from the FAA for the
installation and integration of an ICG NxtMail Server with the
existing ICS-200 telephone system on-board a Gulfstream G-V
aircraft. The company says the combination will provide
worldwide, inflight wireless Blackberry e-mail messaging.
“Virtually all of the pre-certification work has been
completed at Aero Industries Richmond facilities and we anticipate
the receipt of the STC by the end of this month,” said Ray
Larkin, ICG’s Regional Manager. “Aero Industries is a
long-standing partner with ICG on a number of successful projects
and we are pleased to continue this mutually beneficial and
productive relationship. “
“ICG products have ‘designed-in’ versatility
that makes them extremely cost effective and productive tools
for our customers. This particular adaptation allowed one of our
operators to add e-mail capability to their aircraft without an
expensive and otherwise unnecessary telephone system hardware
replacement,” added Per Person, Aero Industries Avionics
Facility Manager.
ICG’s NxtMail Server provides a local Wireless Access
Point (WAP) in the aircraft cabin via a single inexpensive Iridium
channel. Besides acting as a WAP and Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) Server, the NxtMail Server efficiently and
automatically manages link access to optimize “on-air”
time and associated costs. WiFi capable user devices, such as
BlackBerry smartphones and iPhone mobile digital devices, are
automatically assigned an IP address by the DHCP server to provide
immediate access to the system without user intervention or set-up
beyond what is required with any WiFi network.
