RDT wins major new contract with USA avionics company
RDT Ltd is pleased to announce a significant new contract awarded by a major USA avionics company to implement its leading-edge Advanced Data Robustness satellite data reliability technology (ADR).
ADR is a technological breakthrough that overcomes satcom data connection reliability issues to ensure reliable data communications via Satcom from aircraft.
It was originally developed to support Tempus as a solution to the problem of unreliable data communication links from aircraft in-flight. Tempus is RDT’s unique remote medical monitoring device that enables someone with no medical experience to send a sick person’s vital signs data to ground-based medical experts.
Already flying on over 500 aircraft, the ADR technology enables reliable transmission of vital signs medical and other data from aircraft in flight. This significantly improves the overall flying experience and medical security for thousands of airline and business passengers.
Said RDT’s Managing Director Graham Murphy, “The potential of ADR was highlighted when, less than a year after its introduction, it was licensed to one of the world’s largest avionics companies for the facilitation of reliable transmission off-aircraft of various types of data. This important new contract reinforces our role as specialists in managing data communications from commercial and business aircraft and further strengthens our consultancy product offering.”
In the last 12-months RDT have invested more than $1 million setting up a global network infrastructure to support in-flight communications from Tempus. This was a major undertaking that required detailed partnership and collaboration with international satcom communications companies.
Comments Tim Fry, RDT’s Project and Software Development Manager, “The restructuring and strengthening of our communications network, together with ADR, ensures our customers always get reliable communication links when using our products and cements our position as authorities on reliable data transmission from aircraft in flight.”
