Florida Company Claims Industry First WLAN STC Approval

Banyan Avionics Approved For Wireless LAN Installation In Cessna BizJets

The FAA issued STC ST03901AT to the Banyan Avionics team based at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE) in mid-December for the Thrane and Thrane AVIATOR 200 Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) system for the Cessna 500, 550, S550, 552, 560, and 560XL  aircraft.

"We are excited to receive the first STC for the SwiftBroadBand (SBB) 200 class of service in the United States," says Brian Wilson, Banyan's director of avionics.  "Banyan has been one of the industry leaders for High Speed Data and Wi-Fi installations for the last three years and to receive this STC before most vendors have even delivered their products to the market clearly shows the vision of both Banyan and their partner Thrane and Thrane."

The AVIATOR 200 turns your aircraft into a hot spot and enables pilots and passengers to use Wi-Fi enabled PDA devices including Blackberry, iPhone and iPad to access a multitude of applications; such as, email, internet browsing, smart phone connectivity and voice communications.

"As the launch customer for this innovative new system, we could not be happier," states Chief  Pilot Eduardo Gatica, "The passengers enjoy staying connected and entertained during the flight and before departure the crew can download the latest weather conditions, flight plans and charts on our iPads and EFB's."

For a limited time, Banyan is installing the system at the introductory price of $75,000.  Banyan says the installation can be performed as quickly as two weeks, and can be completed at Banyan during regular maintenance inspections. The company says they are in the process of obtaining ANAC Brazilian approval.
