Flying High With GPS Is Blue Sky Net’s New Transceiver

September 22, 2009

Blue Sky Network has introduced their D410A flight tracking and two-way messaging transceiver into its product line-up. The D410A provides a new breed of Iridium satellite-based GPS tracking like its big brother the D1000A with the added benefits of a lower cost, effortless usability, and new messaging capabilities.

Blue Sky Net's SkyRouter screens Designed to be ultra-portable at less than six ounces and battery powered, the product offers a simple ‘power-on and go’ capability that allows pilots to track speed, altitude and GPS location with the touch of a button. The D410A is built to MIL-STD-801F and able to withstand the harshest environments. Combined with Iridium’s pole-to-pole reliability, this small but powerful tracker can transmit data from anywhere on the planet. The D410A also offers advanced messaging software via an optional tethered PDA display. When connected to the D410A’s serial port, this option provides pilots with the ability for in-flight text messaging and trip submission via Blue Sky’s SkyRouter web portal and may also offer additional flight tools in the future. From the portal, aviation managers can also send and receive messages to/from their aircraft in route.  The standard SkyRouter GPS position reports, special events (take-off, landing, etc.) are also resident with the D410A. The unit is designed for rapid deployment on fixed-wing and rotor-wing aircraft. The all-in-one unit can be placed anywhere with a view up to the sky to deliver reliable GPS and event data via the Iridium global satellite network. The D410A also includes key features such as GPS and Iridium integrated antennas and enclosed rechargeable Lithium Ion battery.
