An Easier Upgrade Path to Flightcell DZMx for Existing Satcom Users 21 January 2020
Flightcell International are
simplifying the replacement of legacy satellite equipment. Operators can now upgrade
to the latest satellite & cellular hybrid technology, with minimal cost and
minimal downtime.
Flightcell are releasing a new variant
of the market leading Flightcell DZMx with
a new form-factor to replace legacy Iridium Satellite equipment. Unlike the DZMx
that was designed for the cockpit, the new Flightcell DZMx Plus mounts on the
existing tray in the avionics bay of an aircraft. It is a straight LRU swap-out
for aging tray mounted satcom tracking systems.
There will be very little installation needed.
In most cases an additional cellular blade antenna will be added to take advantage of the DZMx’s
cellular voice and data capabilities.
John Wyllie, Chief Executive Officer and
Founder, of Flightcell International, had this to say about the new product: "We are pleased to be able to offer a simple upgrade path for satellite
communication and tracking systems. There are a lot of legacy systems out there
and their operations would benefit from an upgrade, particularly in the EMS
sector. There are significant cost-savings to be had by moving to the DZMx hybrid
satellite and cellular installed system”.
The
Flightcell DZMx Plus has more space available than the existing Flightcell
DZMx, providing scope for expansion of hardware and future capabilities. The unit
is controlled from the cockpit or cabin by the Flightcell
DZMx Remote Head Unit. The DZMx Plus will have all the features of the DZMx,
including the same functions, menu structure and user interface for the Pilot.
Upgraded
aircraft can also benefit from built in WiFi and Bluetooth®, digital HD audio, Hobbs
Meter, direction finding, FDM transport, Flight Data Recording (FDR), Open VPN,
and Marine AIS. The Flightcell DZMx is an unlocked system so end users can sign
up to any Flightcell approved tracking provider and any Iridium Satellite
service provider.
Flightcell
will be showcasing the DZMx Plus at Heli-Expo in Anaheim at booth 5742 – adjacent
to Leonardo Helicopters. |
