Thrane & Thrane + RUAG Aerospace... Citation Certification Comes Clean (Comms)


[SatNews] With certification comes approval for Citation jet installations...

Thrane & Thrane's AVIATOR 200 SwiftBroadband solution has recently received a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for its use aboard Citation 525/525A (CJ1/CJ2) jets and also covers the system's use for Wi-Fi. The STC follows the successful integration and testing aboard a Cessna CJ1 model 525 aircraft which was carried out by the EASA approved Design Organisation of RUAG Aerospace Services GmbH in Oberpfaffenhofen/Germany. Thrane & Thrane's AVIATOR 200 is an exceptionally compact, lightweight system that offers reliable, affordable connectivity to provide users with a range of services including data and voice. With built-in Wi-Fi capability, the AVIATOR 200 makes it exceptionally easy for aircraft operators to offer wireless connectivity aboard, to support the use of devices such as laptops, tablets and smart phones. Thrane & Thrane is the first satellite communications equipment manufacturer to receive a STC for a SwiftBroadband 200 system.
