Becomes First Iridium-based Satcom Certified To RTCA’s
Helicopter Vibration Standard
AirCell's satcom system, the ST
3100, has been certified to meet the highest level of vibration
standard for helicopters – meeting the requirements of
Category U in Section 8 of the RTCA/DO-160E environmental test
standards. Vibration certification in Category U gives AirCell
customers the highest confidence that the ST 3100 will perform
flawlessly in the rotorcraft environment. AirCell is the first
airborne telecom provider to offer an Iridium satcom system
certified at this level.
"AirCell is proud that its equipment meets the highest standard
demanded by helicopter operators and manufacturers," said Bill
Peltola, AirCell Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
The ST 3100's new Category U certification is in addition to its
existing Category S certification for vibration. The AirCell ST
3100 is an affordable, lightweight satcom system that provides
high-quality voice and low-speed data service -– with all
altitude, all latitude coverage -– over the Iridium satellite
network.
The system is factory-standard or optional equipment at many
leading helicopter manufacturers and is flying worldwide in a
variety of corporate, utility, and special mission rotorcraft
applications. With an available cockpit dialer, the ability to
interface with cockpit audio panels, and Category U vibration
certification, the system is particularly suitable for helicopter
operations.
