FAA Grants STC To Send Solutions For Connectivity Solution

Airtext Approved For Cessna Citation X

The FAA has granted STC approval for the installation of Send Solutions' Airtext passenger Iridium Texting Systems on Textron Aviation Inc. Cessna 750 (Citation X).

Airtext allows 16 passengers the ability to send and receive SMS messages as well as emoji’s whether in flight or on the ground anywhere in the world for essentially .05 cents a message. Using the iridium satellite network, they have designed a product that allows connectivity through your cell phone while on the airplane. Messages are quick and delivered to the appropriate device. Using new technology BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) found in modern phones, the passengers open a free application loaded on their phone giving them access to Airtext.

The hardware consists of a small “paperback” sized box weighing 1.1 pound that is installed on the airplane and connects to the existing iridium phone antenna found on most airplanes. Then, utilizing a simple switch, the operator can change from voice mode to data mode for messaging. Hardware cost is $9,750 plus install, data costs vary depending upon usage and three packages (small, medium or large) are available based on .05 cents per message.

Airtext is available for immediate shipment through authorized Avionics Dealers.
