Avionica Inc. has been contracted by Icelandair to provide
products and services to e-Enable Icelandair’s 16 new B737MAX
aircraft. Beginning this year and continuing through 2019 when
final aircraft deliveries are made, Icelandair will install
Avionica’s e-Enabled avionics that include satLINK MAX Iridium
satellite communications system and aviONS Onboard Network
Server.
“Avionica’s integrated e-Enablement solution allows Icelandair
to deploy an advanced e-Enablement system at a fraction of the OEM
catalog price. By using avSYNC service, Icelandair will save more
than US$4 million in hardware and communications services on the
new 737MAX fleet,” said Bragi Baldursson, Head of Design for
Icelandair.
Avionica’s solution for Icelandair includes:
- satLINK MAX Iridium satellite
communications system
- aviONS Onboard Network Server
- avCM 4G cellular device
- avSYNC QAR download
satLINK MAX is the industry’s only 4-channel, FANS-1/A and ATC
Voice Safety Service approved Iridium SATCOM system. The multitude
of Iridium channels enables Icelandair to maximize e-Enabled
aircraft connectivity without restricting critical Voice and
FANS-1/A safety services.
aviONS provides an open-platform network solution supporting
airline and third party e-Enablement systems. aviONS enhances
airborne connectivity with global 4G Cellular using avCM and
aviONS’s WiFi connectivity for crew wireless applications including
efficient in-flight reporting of cabin discrepancies.
To manage connectivity, Avionica’s avSYNC global data transfer
network provides automated data transfer between aircraft and their
operation center. As Icelandair’s e-Enabled aircraft focus is
efficiency, avSYNC’s ability to automate data synchronization of
onboard applications would become a key component of its
strategy.
“We are very proud to continue our partnership with Icelandair
in challenging the industry with better flight data and
communications solutions. Icelandair’s confidence in Avionica’s
e-Enablement and global communications solution as an alternative
to costly catalog options is a testament to the exceptional value
Avionica continues to deliver for Icelandair,” said Avionica Vice
President of Sales Anthony Rios.
