The CCX Technologies AP-250 cybersecurity router has received a supplemental type certificate (STC) for installation on a Canadian-registered Gulfstream Vs. Although it can be configured as either a secure router or inline cybersecurity device, for this STC the AP-250 also serves as the router for the aircraft’s airborne connectivity system. The STC was approved by Transport Canada and the installation and certification works were done by Mid-Canada Mod Center based in Toronto.

Featuring two dual-band Wi-Fi radios with encryption, the AP-250 includes a 1 TB solid-state drive “with all data encrypted at-rest,” according to CCX, and range of half a kilometer. It is also equipped with Advanced LTE to connect to cellular networks on the ground for remote technical support.
