Airtel ATN has acquired the sole rights to the Intellectual Property from ADS (Aviation Data Systems Australia) and now manages all ADS product sales in Europe, Middle East and US.  The combination of Airtel ATN and ADS solutions provide a definitive ATN test environment for testing air or ground installations, in the laboratory or out in the field over VDL Radios (VDRs). All new sales will be handled through Airtel ATN along with new and existing warranty and support activities.

Airtel ATN provides the option to run the Test Tools over VDL Radios (VDRs) using Mini-VDRs and ADS’s PVDL software. The Mini-VDR is a low-power VHF transceiver designed for test environments using the latest in DSP and FPGA technology.

The ADS Portable VDL (PVDL) software application provides VDL Mode 2 protocol emulation (aircraft and ground station) with strong and meaningful graphics displays and logging data base. PVDL can be operated as either a fully interactive system engaged in data link activity or as a monitor-only system.

The ADS Mobile VDL (MVDL) test platform integrates the Mini-VDR, notebook PC and other ancillary equipment into a ruggedised style case for fully portable/mobile operation.

Airtel ATN’s Airborne ATN test software can be hosted on the MVDL platform or on an external PC.
