Automatic Wireless Data Transfer To Centralized Server
Operators of aircraft equipped with Pro Line 4 or Pro Line 21
avionics now have the ability to securely, automatically and
wirelessly transfer data to and from their aircraft with the new
Ascend Aircraft Information Manager unveiled today by Rockwell
Collins.
A key component of Rockwell Collins' newly introduced Ascend
Flight Information Solutions, the Aircraft Information Manager can
remotely transfer data via Wi-Fi and cellular networks while the
aircraft is on the ground.
"The Ascend Aircraft Information Manager replaces the current
method of manually transferring information via USB or laptop,
saving valuable time and labor for aircraft operators, while
ensuring the integrity of the information," said Steve Timm, vice
president and general manager, Information Management for Rockwell
Collins. "This new capability, which is already built into our Pro
Line Fusion system, demonstrates our commitment to fully leverage
its advanced features across our Pro Line family."
Operators of Pro Line 4 or Pro Line 21 aircraft will be able to
access the Aircraft Information Manager service by adding the
Rockwell Collins IMS-3500 Information Management Server (IMS) to
their aircraft.

The Aircraft Information Manager is capable of securely
uploading flight critical database updates such as: Flight
Management System, Terrain Awareness Warning System, Surface
Management System, electronic charts and user documentation to the
aircraft anywhere in the world, as well as downloading maintenance
information post-flight. Flight departments can monitor the
progress and confirm successful installation of uploads by logging
on to the Ascend web portal.
