Largest Trade Show Dedicated To The Helo Community

Becker Avionics says they are bringing the latest communications, navigation, surveillance and search & rescue equipment for airborne and ground applications to HeliExpo 2010 in Houston, TX, from February 21 to 23, 2010. HeliExpo is the world's largest trade show dedicated to the international helicopter community.

“HeliExpo is an outstanding venue to meet with Aviation professionals from a variety of companies, along with staying abreast of industry and technology trends" said Brett Gardner, Director of Sales and Marketing. "At this year’s show, we’re introducing our newest generation Personal Locator Beacon (PLB), the MR 510. It’s an exciting new professional grade survival product which offers superb performance and reliability in the most adverse environments. Also, we’re continuing to showcase our hottest selling product, the DVCS 6100 Digital Audio and Intercom system. We were the first company to develop a commercially certified Digital Audio system with excellent performance at a competitive price. During the last couple of years, we’ve seen a wide variety of customer’s select this product. Our DVCS customer’s range from law enforcement, EMS and fire fighting, to ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) market segments”

Other products Becker will display at the show will include:

• A recently TSO certified new Mode S Transponder line, the BXP64XX (Class 1 and 2) with different form factors, to meet future transponder technology requirements by enhancing safety and situational awareness with aircraft traffic information. The remote-controlled version of the Becker BXP series has been selected by international aircraft manufacturers for "glass cockpit", integrated avionics solutions. The 250 watt (Class 1) model is complemented by the smaller 2 1/4" 150 Watt (Class 2), single block unit, with extremely low power consumption. This model is particularly suited for light aircraft and gliders.
• The latest 160mm Mode S Transponder was specifically developed for the retrofit market and replaces the Bendix King KT-76 transponder with the same size panel fit, but with a much shallower depth.
• The new high performance, compact, AR 6201 VHF-AM Transceiver with 8.33 kHz channel spacing and integrated voice activated (VOX) intercom system for up to four passengers. Built using state-of-the-art DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology, the AR 6201 continues the legacy of its predecessor, the AR 4201 VHF-AM transceiver, which set the bench mark for reliability and performance in its class. With more than 18,000 units sold, the AR 4201 has been the trustworthy companion for thousands of pilots flying millions of flight-hours.
