Com Kits + SatTracking Part Of Blue Sky Network Deal With UAE


Blue Sky Network has been selected by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Government to provide flight tracking and voice capabilities aboard selected government operated aircraft. The new equipment will streamline fleet management and enhance the security of its passengers, while improving the communication capabilities of the aircraft in flight.

In order to provide improved security for UAE government aircraft, flight operations has deployed Blue Sky Network’s D1000A with ACH1000 global satellite tracking, and communications kits to enable voice and text messaging. With the ACH1000, the pilot or co-pilot is able to receive calls directly through the headset and has the option of using speed dial or free dial features when making calls. Offering a simple email application that can be used anywhere, the D1000A provides the ability to connect EFBs, laptops or PDAs for easy two-way messaging via a web-based interface. UAE flights operations also is using Blue Sky Network’s SkyRouter web portal to receive near real time location reporting for online monitoring of fleets anywhere on Earth. From the SkyRouter fleet management system, they can track assets, communicate via simple text messaging, and receive and update trip plans.
