Blue
Sky Network announced that the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
has given a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) to Blue Sky and its
reseller partner, S4A. The certification clears Blue Sky's voice system for service aboard C-212-200 Airbus Military aircraft.
The
EASA certification specifically certifies the deployment of Kit 2, a
value-added aviation satellite phone system. The Kit 2 solution
leverages the Iridium satellite network for airborne voice
communication and tracking services. The integrated single channel
antenna and cable of the Kit 2 is certified by the FAA for use aboard
aircraft. The satellite antenna and cable can accept either the Iridium 9555 or
Iridium Extreme satellite phone, which plug into the antenna outlet.
According
to S4A, customers can rely upon the fleet management solutions of
Blue Sky Network to provide them with advanced global voice and data
communication services. The STC awarded by EASA officially confirmed
S4A's confidence in its partner. S4A looked forward to offering the
EASA-certified satellite communications products of Blue Sky Networks
on the C-212-200 military aircraft developed by Airbus.
