APRIL 21, 2009 SUNDSVALL, SWEDEN – Air Italy announced today their selection of navAero tñBagC22 computer and display systems as the Class 2 EFB flight deck hardware of choice to equip their B737, B757 and B767 fleets.

Air Italy made the selection of the navAero technology for the affordable operational functionalities and retrofit cost savings they will realize through the deployment of the tñBagC22 EFB hardware.

We are developing an application suite that will integrate various IT resources – and with the built-in connectivity that the navAero EFB system has, we will be able to realize improved communication efficiency throughout our entire company infrastructure”.
Dual networked installations of the navAero tñBagC22 hardware systems – featuring built-in HSDPA/UMTS/GRPS/EDGE connectivity – will be installed on the B737 300/700, B757-200 and B767-200/300 flight decks. The navAero EFB configuration includes the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processor and ARINC429 connection. Certification for these airframes is being executed by navAero.
