Introducing Aspen's NextGen products for ADS-B

Aspen is happy to introduce two new lines of NextGen products to meet the upcoming FAA ADS-B Out equipment mandate, and access the ADS-B subscription-free weather and traffic services. These product introductions include a new, certified NextGen product line and an expansion to the company’s existing Connected Panel™ wireless cockpit technology.
 

Connected Panel ADS-B Solutions

Aspen is expanding the Connected Panel product line with the addition of the Connected Weather CG50. The CG50 is a small Wi-Fi receiver that hard-wires into Evolution displays and allows pilots to simultaneously view subscription-free ADS-B weather on an Evolution PFD or MFD – and via an iPad from the same portable ADS-B receiver. The CG50 can be retrofitted on existing Aspen displays already in the field.

An upgrade to the Connected Pilot CG100, which allows users to display subscription-free weather from portable ADS-B receivers onto Evolution PFDs and MFDs, will also be available in 2013. Interfacing with portable ADS-B receivers is a new core Connected Pilot feature and this new functionality can be retrofitted to existing CG100 installations.

 

Certified ADS-B Solutions

Aspen is also happy to introduce three new ADS-B receivers and transceivers. These NextGen solutions display ADS-B weather and traffic on Evolution flight displays, meet the FAA ADS-B mandate and, depending on the model, are compatible with which ever transponder already resides in the panel.
 
  • The ARX100 dual-band ADS-B receiver targets aircraft that already have a Mode S transponder with Extended Squitter and an ADS-B compliant (WAAS-enabled) GPS installed.
  • The ATX200 dual-band in, 978MHz out ADS-B transceiver is designed for aircraft that have either a Mode A/C transponder or Mode S without Extended Squitter, and a WAAS-enabled GPS installed.
  • The ATX200G combines a dual-band in, 978 MHz out ADS-B transceiver and an ADS-B compliant GPS into one product, a perfect solution for aircraft with a legacy mode A/C transponder and without an ADS-B compatible GPS.

The first models in Aspen’s NextGen product line are expected to be available Q3 2013.

Each of these products meets the FAA ADS-B mandate and provides access to subscription-free ADS-B weather, traffic when paired with an Aspen Evolution PFD or MFD, and the appropriate transponder.
