Newport News, Va. –(June 2, 2010) – International Communications Group
(ICG) has been selected by AeroMexico Airlines to install its NxtLink ICS-120A
communications systems which offer flight deck voice and DataLink services over the
Iridium satellite network on five of its Boeing 767-200 and 300 series aircraft. The ICG
Iridium based systems have been tested and approved by ARINC and SITA and are
compliant with the requirements for both AOC and ATS flight deck communications and
support ACARS, CPDLC and other FANS1/A messaging. The agreement also covers
the associated Configuration Identity Modules (CIM) and Spectralux Avionics Dlink+ allin-
one ACARS system.
ICG holds Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Parts Manufacturer Authority for
the single channel NxtLink 120A and the CIM which means “AeroMexico can be fully
confident in the quality, reliability and consistent performance of the ICG NxtLink
system,” said Carlos Monsalve, ICG’s Vice President of Air Transport Sales. “In addition,
this is a significant milestone for us since it signifies that now ICG has STC’s for its
NxtLink line of Iridium products on the B737, B747, B757, B767 and the B777.”
“Our evaluation of this system concluded that it gives us the capabilities we
require now, and the flexibility to configure for future needs as well. This system will
keep our aircraft 100% connected to our Flight Operations Control Center” said Carlos
Najera, AeroMexico’s Director of Engineering.

ICG’s NxtLink 120A device incorporates a single Iridium transceiver (LBT) for
voice and circuit switched or Internet data as well as a Short Burst Data (SBD) modem
dedicated to ACARS Datalink. The system provides connections to the flight deck
avionics and systems providing global and reliable communications services via the
Iridium network. It supports all Future Air Navigation System (FANS) and Controller Pilot
Data Link Communications (CPDLC) as well as Aircraft Communications Addressing
and Reporting System (ACARS) requirements. The external CIM module (Configuration
Identification Module) provides a facility for storing any installation specific configuration
parameters as well as the Iridium SIM Card(s). This insures that the Iridium SIM card
and associated telephone number is assigned to the airframe making the LRU
replacement, line maintenance and spares management a simple process.
Spectralux Avionics Dlink+ is designed to be flexible and customizable with a
database that can be configured based on individual needs. It includes a Control Display
Unit (CDU), VHF Digital Radio (VDR), Communication Management Unit (CMU) and
aircraft health monitoring in a single LRU.
