PHOENIX, Nov. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the world's
largest air carriers is the first to select Honeywell's (NYSE: HON)
Aircraft Data Gateway solution to quicken the transfer of data to
and from an aircraft — regardless of the aircraft's location. The
carrier selected Honeywell's solution to save time from the
traditional data transfer methods, which use multiple data-loading
or interface units. Now one affordable, lightweight device opens up
a world of capabilities for the Connected Aircraft.
Designed specifically for airlines, Aircraft Data Gateway-300
(ADG-300) is a single, compact unit that replaces multiple
data-loading or interface units. Honeywell's solution will help the
customer manage real-time aircraft loading status, and eliminate
the need to produce and distribute software and database media
disks. The ADG-300 will reduce the customer's data-loading times by
up to 50 percent, thereby improving fleet operations and aircraft
availability. The ADG-300 merges with electronic flight bags and
pilot tablets, so flight crews can easily install the solution.
By creating a way to wirelessly transfer data to and from an
aircraft at any time, Honeywell's solution allows pilots and ground
personnel to access in an instant the aircraft's performance data
and operational status. In addition to the simplification and ease
in collecting and managing data, Aircraft Data Gateway enables
Connected Aircraft services such as Honeywell's GoDirect™ Connected
Loading, GoDirect Connected Maintenance, GoDirect Weather and more
to help the carrier further improve operational efficiency.
"We are committed to giving our customers access to real-time
information, so they can make informed decisions based on an
aircraft's status at any time," said Kristin Slyker, vice president, Connected
Aircraft, Honeywell Aerospace. "Aircraft Data Gateway is a simple
solution that helps pilots, maintenance and operations personnel to
boost their productivity by performing data loading and offloading
securely and automatically with their fleet."
The ADG-300 enables aggregation of aircraft data from multiple
sources, including quick access recoding data, and can
automatically send the data in real time (or store it for automatic
downloading after landing) to ground servers. It also enables
loading of loadable software airplane parts. The gateway offers
storage with interface capabilities for flight crews to use tablets
at any time to view, send and receive flight operations
information, manuals and maintenance information.
