Air IP Connectivity STC’d for Bell 407
New York’s Westchester County Police Department fleet is among the beneficiaries

Outerlink has received supplemental type certificate (STC) approval for the Air IP Wi-Fi system aboard the Bell 407 in cooperation with the Westchester County (New York) Police Department (WCPD). The county's aviation police unit was seeking a cost-effective and reliable alternative to its outdated microwave system.

“We found that the original microwave system installed had reduced capabilities due to line-of-sight limitations,” said WCPD sergeant Brian Powers. "It was extremely costly to purchase and maintain the ground infrastructure.”
