Axnes Aviation is proud to announce the next leap in wireless communication technology, with the introduction of its Polycon New Generation (PNG) Wireless intercom solution at the Army Aviation Mission Solutions Summit 2015 in Nashville, TN. The new PNG system will be unveiled at the Becker Avionics booth today on booth #200 at 1:00pm.
After 3 years in development, the new PNG digital secure radio system will enable cordless intercom capability both in cabin and at line-of-sight range from the aircraft, ground vehicle or marine vessel. There is no other technology or direct competitor to PNG in the world today. The initial product launch is for the search and rescue (SAR) version of PNG, which will replace the existing Polycon system and add important features and functionality. Further developments in 2015 will include other versions tailored for military operations, EMS and cargo aircraft requirements among others.
