STC for Latitude Technologies Corporation DL-150 Satellite Data Unit & Iridium Antenna on Global Express

West Star Aviation has completed work and has been awarded an STC for the installation of Latitude Technologies Corporation DL-150 Satellite Data Unit (SDU) and Iridium Antenna in the Bombardier Global Express (BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11) aircraft.

This offers a great solution to operators that want to remove the classic Inmarsat solution and replace it with a new, non-safety services KA internet connectivity solution.  The compact Iridium installation allows the connection of FANS/CPDLC out of VHF coverage after the Inmarsat system has been removed.

This installation takes approximately four weeks and can be completed at any of the four full service West Star Aviation facilities  – East Alton, IL (ALN), Grand Junction, CO (GJT), Chattanooga, TN (CHA) and Perryville, MO (PCD).
