Latitude Technologies and Northern Airborne Technology (NAT) have announced the availability of a text messaging upgrade to the popular NAT PTA12-100 Dialer/Adapter for use with the Latitude SkyNode® S200-021 satphone, flight tracking and messaging transceiver.
Under an exclusive license agreement with NAT, Latitude developed a firmware upgrade for the PTA12, whereby when interfaced to a S200-021, the PTA12 can now provide two way messaging. Pre-programmed responses are generated from a library of nine customer
predefined messages stored in the system, all remotely configurable. This new capability is already available on all new PTA12 units purchased from Latitude. Firmware upgrades to existing units in aircraft are available from Latitude for an upgrade fee.
