ACR Group Adds Blue Sky Network To Its Stable Of Offerings

ACR Group Corporation (ACR Group) perhaps best known to General Aviation folks for its personal locator beacons (PLB’s) and Emergency Locator Transmitters (ELT’s), recently announced on 9 May 2022 that it acquired Blue Sky Network, an Iridium Satellite Connectivity Solutions firm. 

ACR Group, founded in 1993 has a long history, over 60 years, of ‘saving lives’ through its product line of PLB’s and other safety products for use in emergency situations. ACR has evolved over the years, integrating complementary companies (and their products) into its lineup, and the addition of Blue Sky Network is yet another.  This acquisition joins ACR’s stable that consists of ARTEX, bivy, Flight Data Systems, FreeFlight Systems, Latitude, NAL Research Corporaton, OceanSignal, SkyTrac, TrooTrax, TRXsystems, and UML.

The ACR Group stated that Blue Sky Network will retain its operating structure, and with this new addition, expects to take advantage of the latter’s expertise in tracking, managing, and optimizing high-value assets, in real-time, to provide improved safety, reliability, and efficiency.

The ACR Group is based on the east coast of the USA in Florida, and the Blue Sky Network, founded in 2000, is headquartered in California, with additional offices in Arizona (USA), and Brazil.
