Provides Operators With New Solution For Managing
Logistics
Global asset management and GPS
fleet management provider Blue Sky Network announced Tuesday it has
received a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) from the Federal
Aviation Administration for installation of its D1000C and ACH1000
kits on Bombardier DHC-8-201 aircraft. The certified Blue Sky
Network equipment provides Dash 8 operators enhanced communication
between managers and crew from anywhere in the world, adding safety
and tracking capabilities to increase security and efficiency.
"This certification is proof of the high quality of our asset
management equipment. We are very proud to provide our customers
the added value and assurance of another STC," said Jon Gilbert,
president and CEO of Blue Sky Network. "We will continue to add
product certification where needed in order to bring secure
tracking and communications to more aircraft worldwide."
Blue Sky says its D1000C offers near real-time tracking of
fleets through built-in GPS position reporting combined with an
Iridium satellite transceiver and telemetry data link. The ACH1000
communications control head adds voice communication and two-way
messaging connectivity between operators and the control center.
Managers are also able to visually track aircraft and view
take-off, landing and other flight updates using SkyRouter, Blue
Sky Network's secure online web portal.
Founded in 2001, Blue Sky Network is headquartered in La Jolla,
California with customers and distributors worldwide.
