A U.S. and a Norwegian company have entered into a teaming

product support services for the Axnes Polycon Wireless Intercom
System.
Miramar, FL-based Becker Avionics will be responsible to market

South America, including military, governmental and civil
customers. In addition, Becker Avionics will act as the service and
repair center for the Polycon product in the assigned
territory's.
Tom Sekkelsten, Chief Marketing Officer of the Norwegian-based
Axnes Aviation said "This teaming agreement will provide Axnes
Aviation the ability to better present our technologies to the
professional aviation market. This new alliance positions our
Polycon wireless intercom system more globally, and will help
firmly establish our company as one of the leaders in airborne
wireless intercom devices. Our commitment to providing each client

Avionics' proven track record of customer support, engineering,
manufacturing, and sales. The teaming of Axnes Aviation and Becker

capabilities truly unique in our industry."
The Polycon system provides the capability to rotary and
fixed-wing operators to have audio communications between aircraft
crew members in the aircraft and away from the aircraft on the
ground, as well as ground support crews. For example, helicopter
pilots and off-aircraft flight paramedics preparing a patient for
transport and evacuation can remain in constant communication while
on the ground and in flight during a hoist rescue mission (up to 15
Nautical miles line of sight range). The Polycon system eliminates
communication restrictions by providing seamless hands-free,
wireless communications to all members of the crew so members can
effectively perform their mission operations.
The Polycon communication system helps to ensure the safety of
the flight crew on the ground or during demanding missions. The
product consists of one aircraft interface unit, with an unlimited
number of mobile equipment units and a battery charger.
The Polycon System provides:
- Hands-free communication between hoist operators, rescue
personnel on the hoist, and off-aircraft crew members.
- Semi duplex voice-activated mode, hands-free mode, and a
push-to-talk mode.
- Sixteen independent channels with unlimited mobile crew
members.
- Unsurpassed simultaneous omni-directional communications among
all users in the aircraft network, within 15 NM of the aircraft or
line of sight range.
