L2 Consulting Services, Inc.
certifies Wingspeed XLLink Flight Information
Architecture on Boeing 747 Aircraft
AUSTIN, Texas –
May 12, 2008 - L2 Consulting Services, Inc (L2) proudly
announces that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
has approved the company’s Supplemental Type Certificate
for the Wingspeed XLLink Flight Information System. The
STC approves the L2 installation to provide voice and
data communications utilizing the Iridium Satellite
network on the B747-200 series aircraft.
“The ability to globally communicate, track, and
electronically transfer data and documents via XFIA
intrinsically lowers costs and is a major reason why
industry leading airlines have selected the XFIA
system”, said Dave Borkowski, Wingspeed’s Vice President
of Sales.
The Wingspeed XLLink Flight Information
Architecture (XFIA) is an airborne network platform that
stays connected to an airline’s ground network through a
range of sub-networks such as VHF, the Iridium Satellite
Network, Wi-Fi, and Cellular. XFIA manages these
sub-networks automatically to establish the most cost
effective means of data and voice transmission. The
Wingspeed XLLink Flight Information System enables any
aircraft to be a node on an information network, whether
on the ground or in the air.
The STC approved configuration includes
Triple Class 2 Electronic Flight Bags (EFB), Wingspeed
Network Server Unit, Wingspeed Aircraft Communications
Unit, Ritec Rugged Printer, Avionica miniQAR, and a
cockpit Iridium Telephone Handset.
“We here at L2 are very excited to add another Iridium
system certification to our portfolio, especially one as
flexible and end user friendly as the Wingspeed system.
We look forward to expanding our customer base through
the adoption of this STC and the operational
efficiencies it represents”, said Mark Lebovitz,
President of L2.
