Spirent Systems has been issued a Supplemental
Type Certificate and Parts Manufacturing Approval for its next
generation aircraft server. The open-systems WinNT server is
enabling technology allowing crews on the aircraft to run business
critical software applications that display, or help create,
information that is vital to safe, reliable, and efficient
operations. The new server replaces the previous generation, of
which over 150 have been delivered and in revenue service for the
airlines.
"However, the server in and of itself does not solve a problem,"
said Dennis Schmitz, VP of Business Development at Spirent. "To
help our customer get the most out of their investment, we have an
experienced staff of application developers, system engineers, and
airline domain experts dedicated to transforming our customers'
needs into useful solutions that add real value to their
investment. We provide custom, stand-alone and 3rd party integrated
software applications, certification, system monitoring and
reporting applications, project management, systems integration,
and process re-engineering services. We can be involved as much or
as little as our customer wants."
With today's announcement, Spirent Systems has again
demonstrated itself to be the premier Information Solution Provider
and Systems Integrator for the aviation industry. The server is the
enabling technology; hosting a wide range of airline-specific
software applications, including Spirent's Onboard Performance
System (OPS) software, Onboard Maintenance System (OMS), cabin
information applications, weight and balance calculations, fault
reporting, graphical weather depiction, document viewing or other
third party software. Additionally, the server supports client
workstations networked throughout the aircraft. These
terminals are usually fixed laptop, touch?screen PC's or Electronic
Flight Bags (EFB) depending on their location and use. To link the
aircraft with other information systems, communications
technologies such as wireless LAN, global satellite data services,
ACARS and cellular can be integrated into the solution.
