Airtel ATN shapes aviation’s future. Article in TechCentral 26 July 2010 Airtel ATN, a supplier of aeronautical telecommunications network software to the aerospace industry, is to provide key data link software, avionics test equipment and development services to several US-based firms and research organisations.The American companies are involved in the design and implementation of the Federal Aviation Administration's so-called NextGen Air Transportation System programme (ATS). Airtel ATN says it expects the contracts to earn it revenue of about $1 million in 2010. The firm already provides similar products and services to the European Union's Eurocontrol Link 2000+ programme. The FAA's NextGen ATS is an overhaul of the US airspace system to make travel safer, more convenient, secure and dependable. Key to the system's success will be its ability to ensure that critical data reaches key decision makers when needed. Airtel ATN's CEO, Frank O'Connor, credited his company's extensive experience in the aviation industry for the latest customer wins. His firm offers a range of ATN and VDL Mode-2 data link products including avionics routers, avionics test equipment, ground data link servers, air/ground routers and ground systems test equipment.
