Outfitting the H225/M Aircraft For Airborne Comms, Secure Data, VoIP, VPN

Astronautics Corporation of America announced that it has been selected by Airbus to equip the H225/M helicopters with its latest V3 version of AeroSync Max, its dual-partitioned wireless airborne communication system as a gateway to enable seamless secure data transmission and communication through embedded 5G, VoIP, VPN, and smart routing for both civilian and military missions.

Airbus’ H225/M civilian and military programs are evolving the secure cross-domain gateway with the new addition of 5G cellular and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity.

Robert Atac, President of Astronautics said, “Astronautics is proud to support Airbus’ ever-evolving connectivity needs with our state-of-the-art airborne communication system for their new H225/M helicopters, and by so doing, also contribute to important missions around the world ranging from homeland security to search & rescue that depend on real-time, secure data.”

The primary features of the AeroSync Max are:

Smart routing enables the uploading and downloading of in-flight data from the helicopter to the ground using the best channel in Wi-Fi, 5G cellular, or SATCOM.

VoIP allows pilots or crew to initiate calls using the intercom system and the dialer control panel.  There will also be call alerting for incoming calls and voice call status

Parallel VPNs ensure safer and more private online activity by encrypting data and masking IP addresses by connecting to two separate VPN servers simultaneously

Secure gateway to support specific mission and cross-domain data transfer requiring a high-level of data security with compliance to the latest aviation cybersecurity regulations (e.g., EASA ED-203A, FAA DO-326)

The Airbus H225/M is an all-weather, long-range helicopter that is the latest member of Airbus Helicopters Super Puma family. The previous version of AeroSync Max is installed on the H145 and H160 platforms, and they will be transitioned over time to the new V3 version.
