Spectralux Corporation is making its Envoy data link immediately available following FAA approvals to TSO-C113 airborne multipurpose electronic displays and TSO-C160 very high frequency digital link mode 2 communications equipment. The Envoy data link provides airlines and business jet operators with global AOC (aeronautical operational control) ACARS (aircraft communication addressing and reporting system) messaging through a customisable user interface. Envoy's certification also paves the way for Spectralux's highly anticipated Envoy dual-stack unit.

“This TSO approval is a significant milestone in the Envoy data link family,” says Spectralux president Scott McCammant. “Envoy is a standalone unit that enhances safety and efficiency for global communications, navigation and surveillance (CNS) air traffic management (ATM). Envoy provides AOC ACARS functions over VHF and satcom, and most importantly, Envoy is available now.”

Envoy is a modern, lightweight, high-speed digital data link communications product that includes three integrated avionics modules: A communications management unit, a VHF data radio and a multipurpose control and display unit. Envoy also features software applications for global data link communications. Envoy is a single, standalone avionics unit that brings enhancements to safety and efficiency found in the modern communication, navigation and surveillance air traffic management environment.
