Pairing Guardian to Outerlink broadens Metro's portfolio of FDM and tracking solutions.
Using FDM, such as that provided by Guardian Mobility, Metro Aviation was able to decrease the number of improper engine shutdowns and hot starts on its EC145s.

Metro Aviation (Booth C1023) has purchased Ottawa, Ontario-based Guardian Mobility, a provider of global tracking, voice and data communications, flight data monitoring (FDM), and analytics services. This is the second acquisition of this type by Metro—it previously purchased Outerlink Global Solutions in 2014 and has continued to develop its technology under the Iris brand, offering near real-time tracking, push-to-talk communication, FDM with voice and video, immediate alerts and warnings, and analytics.
