Arinc Direct Taking Orders For Xplore Comms System

Arinc Direct (Booth 1200) is showcasing the preproduction version of Xplore, a communications service that offers, on an iPad, Acars messaging, voice and a messaging platform for SMS and instant messaging and BlackBerry email services. The new product is “in the final stages of testing before certification and full production,” according to Arinc Direct, which is taking pre-orders at the EBACE show.

Xplore, which works via Iridium and Inmarsat satellites, is designed for use with business jets, helicopters and turboprops flying in remote locations. Regions such as Africa and Australia are key targets. For existing Arinc Direct customers, the Acars messaging functionality is said to be “completely interoperable” with their existing account.
