PENTAR Avionics, a leading manufacturer of aircraft data communication, management and networking products, today announced the availability of the next generation airborne network computer, the JetLAN AR230. Aircraft operators with High Speed Data Satcom systems need a simple, reliable way to share the connection among multiple users simultaneously. The AR230 provides this capability and more.
Although small in size, the AR230 is big in performance and features. Dual processors (PC + Avionics), 9 port ethernet switch, wireless (802.11x) access point, ISDN interfaces, avionics interfaces and extensive networking I/O are all provided in a single 2MCU package weighing only 6 pounds.
Designed, tested and built to the most stringent avionics certification and reliability standards including DO-160D, DO-178 and DO-254, the AR230 is a true avionics LRU, not just re-packaged commercial avionics. It is, however, completely compatible with standard PC applications.
Numerous interfaces are provided to accommodate integration with PC networks, avionics systems and telecommunication/Satcom systems. The AR230 is compatible with all major high-speed Satcom systems including Ku Band systems, Swift64 (MPDS and ISDN) and is ready for SwiftBroadband.
We are currently taking orders for the JetLAN AR230, for more information call 888-655-3755 or email at sales@pentar.com.
