Airborne telecom specialist TrueNorth Avionics is offering what it calls the industry’s first touchscreen graphical telecom display, facilitating communications management in larger executive aircraft in the single-aisle and twin-aisle category from ACJ up through the Boeing 747-8.

The hardware unit, called the Simphonē Master Console, features a full-color, touch-screen graphical display of all communications links and stations, enabling active management of all aircraft telecommunication functions. “We’ve actually found a way to design a system that lets aircraft operators manage all their in-flight cabin communications from a single station, including all links and over 100 onboard handsets,” said TrueNorth president Mark van Berkel.
