NEWPORT NEWS, Va. –(February 17, 2010) – International Communications Group (ICG) has successfully integrated its NxtLink family of Datalink capable Iridium Communications Systems, the  ICS-200, 220A and 400, with Dassault Falcon Jet’s (DFJ’s) EASy Integrated Avionics System for its Falcon 7X executive jet.

“ICG has a lot of experience adapting and testing our long range communications products with various flight deck configurations,” noted Darren Emery, Manager, Customer Service and Support. “It’s a process we have routinely completed for a variety of air transport applications,” he added.

ICG’s family of data and voice capable line replaceable units (LRUs) are extremely lightweight and compact.  The company produces several models designed specifically for aeronautical applications that are compliant with the Air Transport industry’s requirements to support Safety Services.  “For business and commercial operators looking for Long Range Communications (LRC) solutions that enhance safety and redundancy, are economical to acquire and operate, and readily available, ICG Iridium-based products are the answer,” Emery pointed out.

ICG’s and DFJ’s joint test program was conducted to ensure the interoperability of the NxtLink and EASy components. The integrated systems will allow the flight crew to have access to conventional and emerging Datalink services including Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting Systems (ACARS), Airborne Flight Information Service (AFIS), Controller Pilot Datalink Communications (CPDLC) and Future Air Navigation System (FANS) messaging. In addition, ICG Iridium avionics provide flight deck and cabin voice services as well as Wi-Fi capable devices with global E-Mail, Instant Messenger, MS Exchange Server ActiveSync, and a variety of webmail choices via an optional ICG NxtMail server.

Dassault Falcon 7X operators can choose one of three different NxtLink Iridium Communications Systems for use with their EASy avionics suites.  The ICS -200 incorporates dual Iridium transceivers and an internal CTU, offering stand alone comprehensive communications over a single coax and antenna.

The NxtLink ICS-220A is a three transceiver device which combines dual channels of global voice and 2400 BPS data service with a third “Short Burst Data” (SBD) channel in a single 2 Master Control Unit (MCU) LRU.

The NxtLink ICS-400 incorporates four Iridium transceivers with an internal CTU, providing a stand alone comprehensive communications system with connectivity to other aircraft systems.
