Adds Iridium Network Availability To Popular Choice For
Bizjets
International Communications Group
(ICG) announced this week it has completed the integration of its
popular Iridium Communication Systems (ICS) with the Universal
Avionics UniLink UL-70x Communications Management Unit (CMU).
"The Universal UniLink CMU is a popular choice with business jet
owner/operators today," states Jeff Saucedo, Vice President of
Product Sales. "By being able to integrate any of our ICS units
with the UL-700/701 CMU, these owner/operators now have the option
of utilizing the Iridium network, through either the Iridium Short
Burst Data (SBD) service or standard dial-up data service, to avail
a variety of services such as Text or Graphical Weather, free-text
messaging, position reporting and ACARS related messaging."
"This datalink functionality makes the truly global Iridium
satellite communications network available as a communications
medium option on the aircraft to support not only the Cockpit data
services of today but also introduces a forward path to support the
emerging services of tomorrow such as the Communication Navigation
Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) system".
"Another major benefit to the integrated UniLink/ICS solution is
that the ICS system supports operation as an Airborne Telephone
System and/or an ARINC 741 compliant SATCOM system, as required.
This flexibility brings maximum benefit to the end-user in terms of
functionality and services available in addition to allowing for a
simple and very affordable solution to their growing global
communications needs."
