navAero gets advanced STC for its 737NG EFB
navAero has received a new STC for Boeing 737NG series aircraft featuring recent advances in electronic flight bag (EFB) connectivity.
This eighth STC issued for the t•BagC22 EFB incorporates significant technological advancements to the initial STC of the t•BagC22 for the 737NG family issued in 2005. These enhancements are especially beneficial for operators seeking to implement Airport Moving Map as well as a wireless means for updating and managing the data that resides on the EFBs.
The new STC provides for ethernet cross-connectivity of the two navAero EFB CPU modules to allow for data sharing. Further, the STC includes the connections of the EFB systems to the aircraft’s onboard avionics systems. A specially developed software interface allows the appropriate data from the onboard avionics systems to feed Airport Moving Map (AMM) applications for the display of own-ship position.
Additionally, the STC incorporates the custom, navAero-developed, AT&T certified UTMS/HSDPA/3G internal CPU module that allows for on-the-ground cellular connectivity between the EFBs and the AT&T network for data transfer. This data movement technology, pioneered by navAero for the commercial aviation industry, has been demonstrated and approved by the FAA for a major international airline.
