ROWLETT, TEXAS, JULY 14, 2010 – NavWorx®, Incorporated announced today the company has received Federal Communications Commission Authorization on its ADS600-B™ Transceiver. The ADS600-B™ links to the rapidly expanding NextGen air transportation system, a satellite technology providing real-time display of traffic and weather to pilots of equipped aircraft.
Introduced in April at Sun 'n Fun Fly-In 2010, the ADS600-B™ incorporates both transmit and receive capabilities of an Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) and is designed to meet FAA TSO-C154c. The ADS600-B™ generates symbology from traffic and weather broadcasts to be viewed on a variety of cockpit displays. ADS-B operates on the existing global GPS system and an expanding ADS-B infrastructure in the U.S. The ADS600-B™ can be installed on any aircraft.
On June 17, 2010, Grant of Equipment Authorization was awarded to NavWorx Incorporated by U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). NavWorx' ADS600-B™ was certified and tested by independent firm Nemko Canada, an FCC-recognized Telecommunications Certification Body, headquartered in Canada. Nemko certifies products to U.S. standards and in accordance with FCC rules. Numerous tests were performed including: RF power output, Occupied Bandwidth, Spurious Emissions at Antenna Terminal, Frequency Stability, and Field Strength of Spurious Emissions. The ADS600-B™ has a maximum 40-Watt output and operates on a single antenna. ADS-B equipment uses the 978 MHz frequency as specified by FAA TSO-C154c. Testing was performed Lewisville, Texas, nearby the NavWorx' Dallas-area headquarters.
Bill Moffitt, President of NavWorx®, commented on the authorization, "We have extensively tested our equipment, and FCC acceptance confirms the depth of design work that went into the ADS600. ADS-B offers significant benefits to pilots. Best of all, it is affordable and available now. With no subscription required, pilots can take advantage having traffic and weather displayed in real time in their cockpit."
NavWorx®, Incorporated is the leader in affordable ADS-B technology. The NavWorx® product line consists of the ADS600™ and PADS600®, both ADS-B receivers designed for certified, experimental, and light-sport aircraft. The ADS600-B™, priced at $2,495.00, is presently non-TSO'd. The ADS600-B™ takes full advantage of the free broadcast of traffic and weather under the FAA-mandated NexGen ADS-B network.
