CCX Tech Names West Star Cyber Security Dealer
West Star Aviation will sell, install, and maintain CCX Technologies’ products that offer actionable security capabilities and flight data.

Under a new agreement, MRO provider West Star Aviation has become a dealership for CCX Technologies, an onboard cyber security solutions provider. West Star will sell, install, and maintain CCX’s products that offer actionable security capabilities and flight data, including the Canadian-based company’s AP-250, which features two dual-band Wi-Fi radios with encryption and a half-km range, as well as a one terabyte solid-state drive with all data encrypted at rest.

Other CCX products include dataPHY, a compact device that receives onboard avionics databus data such as Arinc 429 for advanced monitoring for anomalies and other flight-critical data events. With the equipment installed on an aircraft, operators can monitor their inflight networks with data sourced from the aircraft itself.
