Avoid Thunderstorms, AND Listen To Howard Stern!
WSI Corporation
announced Wednesday the company is developing a system that will
enable aircraft to receive WSI’s aviation weather information
over Sirius Satellite Radio, as well as providing Sirius' audio
programming for passengers.
The new WSI InFlight system will be available over Sirius for
aircraft flying in the Sirius satellite coverage area.
"We are very excited to be working with Sirius to enhance our
WSI InFlight service," commented Jim Menard, General Manager of
WSI’s Aviation Business Group. "It is critical to WSI that we
are able to satisfy the demanding needs of our aviation customers
and their passengers, including access to the best weather data and
audio programming available."
"The reliability offered by Sirius' satellite network augments
WSI's continued commitment to build a robust network of proactive
flight decision support tools for airlines, corporate flight
departments and aviators world-wide," Menard added.
The new WSI InFlight avionics will
be a FAA certified system, engineered to be compatible with all
existing WSI InFlight display devices and installations. The new
system will feature a 'drop-in' replacement for the current AV001
antenna and a functionally compatible receiver to the current AV100
and AV200 product lines.
Certified WSI InFlight systems compatible with Sirius Satellite
Radio are expected to be available in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Pricing and feature options will be set early in the second
quarter.
The WSI InFlight system uses satellite technology to
continuously broadcast the most accurate, up-to-date weather and
related mission critical information to any aircraft equipped with
the WSI InFlight antenna and receiver.
