Wi-Fi Cabin Networking System For Telecom And IFE Certified

TrueNorth Express+ Manages All Wireless Devices Used On Business Aircraft

TrueNorth Avionics has introduced a compact new Wi-Fi cabin networking device, the TrueNorth Express+, that manages all wireless communications, IFE and cabin management devices.


TrueNorth Express+

Using a built-in Ethernet-to-Wi-Fi link, the TrueNorth Express+ interfaces with all FCC-approved airborne wireless devices, from communications units like handsets, intercoms and smartphones, to inflight entertainment (IFE) units like DVD players, music players and game consoles, to cabin control systems for lighting and ventilation, to electronic flight bags (EFBs) in the cockpit. Incorporating built-in security for all operations, the TrueNorth Express+ creates a wireless access point for the aircraft that's RTCA DO-160 qualified and is certified by both the FAA and EASA. The first installation is being performed by AMAC Aerospace of Basel, Switzerland, aboard a B777 business aircraft.

"Expanding the role of Wi-Fi in the cabin, the new TrueNorth Express+ offers a way to easily and affordably manage all the wireless devices that customers want to bring onboard corporate aircraft these days," said Mark van Berkel, TrueNorth's president. "And it does all this without adding weight, wires or complexity, making it an excellent choice for large transcontinental jets as well as for light turbine aircraft."

The TrueNorth Express+ interfaces readily with TrueNorth's Simphone OpenCabin. Like its predecessor the TrueNorth Express, the TrueNorth Express+ also lets aircraft operators use their BlackBerry smartphones to send and receive e-mail over their existing Iridium satcom phones, providing affordable global access and walk-on-and-use-it convenience.
