Telvent (Nasdaq:TLVT), the leading real-time IT solutions and information provider for a sustainable world, announced today its selection by helicopter emergency service industry leader Inaer Helicopteros S.A. to begin utilization of their MxVision AviationSentry Online® and RotorWatch™ solutions. With the implementation of this Telvent technology, the Spain-based Inaer will improve safety and operational efficiency at its operations centers around the globe and in its fleet of 298 aircraft.

Telvent’s MxVision AviationSentry Online and RotorWatch platform is a customized and real-time one-stop weather forecasting and positioning system for the helicopter industry. It is the only solution available that provides all data on one integrated screen and will also include information generated from Inaer’s fleet management system. With this powerful tool, Inaer will have the ability to view all moving assets, such as in-flight helicopters and their respective location, direction, speed and altitude, along with the corresponding current and forecasted conditions. Inaer will further strengthen the safety of its superior services and operational standards through coordination of critical data and improved situational awareness between pilots and communications centers, both at pre-flight weather briefings and in flight. By heightening awareness of current and forecasted conditions, Inaer pilots and crews will have the information necessary to more safely determine the viability of a safe rescue, as well as up-to-the minute notifications to adapt to changing weather conditions more quickly.

According to Telvent’s CEO, Ignacio Gonzalez, “We are pleased that our entry into the European market allows us to combine our top-rated weather forecasting technology with Inaer’s industry-leading capabilities. Telvent offers Inaer a modern system with real-time accuracy that will improve safety for helicopter pilots and crews.”

MxVision AviationSentry Online and RotorWatch meet the United States Federal Aviation Administration’s AO21 Operations Specification requirements for helicopter weather briefings, as well as all Joint Aviation Requirement Operations III Specifications in Europe.

Operational safety is the most important factor in the aviation industry, and Inaer’s commitment to the highest standards of safety and quality in its operations and services led to its selection of Telvent’s MxVision AviationSentry with RotorWatch technology. Service to Inaer’s operations began March 1, with system updates scheduled for completion in the next 12 months. Inaer operates in several European countries, North Africa, South America, and Australia.
