ICG and Dassault Falcon Jet collaborate on iridium data and voice communications for Falcon 7X
International Communications Group (ICG) has integrated its NxtLink family of Datalink capable Iridium Communications Systems – the ICS-200, ICS-220A and ICS-400 – with Dassault Falcon Jet’s (DFJ’s) EASy Integrated Avionics System for its Falcon 7X executive jet.
ICG’s and DFJ’s joint test programme was conducted to ensure the interoperability of the NxtLink and EASy components. The integrated systems will allow the flight crew to have access to conventional and emerging Datalink services, including aircraft communications addressing and reporting systems (ACARS), airborne flight information service (AFIS), controller pilot datalink communications (CPDLC) and future air navigation system (FANS) messaging. In addition, ICG Iridium avionics provide flight deck and cabin voice services, as well as WiFi-capable devices with global email, Instant Messenger, MS Exchange Server ActiveSync, and a variety of webmail choices via an optional ICG NxtMail server.
Dassault Falcon 7X operators can choose one of three different NxtLink ICS products for use with the EASy avionics suite. The ICS-200 incorporates dual Iridium transceivers and an internal CTU, offering standalone communications over a single coax and antenna. The NxtLink ICS-220A is a three transceiver device which combines dual channels of global voice and 2400bps data service with a third short-burst data channel in a single two master control unit line-replaceable unit. The NxtLink ICS-400 incorporates four Iridium transceivers with an internal CTU, providing a standalone communications system with connectivity to other aircraft systems.
“ICG has a lot of experience adapting and testing our long-range communications products with various flight deck configurations,” said Darren Emery, manager, customer service and support. “It’s a process we have routinely completed for a variety of air transport applications.”
