ARINC Launches Wireless Dispatch Service at Major Airports

May 21, 2001

Annapolis, Maryland, USA,—ARINC announced today that deployment of its Wireless Dispatch Service has begun at major airports throughout North America. It is scheduled to be available at the first airport, Newark International, by September 10, 2001. This new service, based on Motorola's world-leading iDEN technology and provided via ARINC's global data communications network, AviNet™, will eventually replace an older analog-based technology or Trunked Radio Service. The service supports mission-critical 'always-on' voice and data dispatch operations at airport ramps, terminal buildings, and cargo facilities to allow for the rapid deployment and data automation of airline, airport, and other tenants' workforces.

The transition from the old analog service to the new Wireless Dispatch Service provides airlines and airports with a flexible form of instant uniform communication that affords six times the use of channels compared to analog. As a very directed form of communication, the Wireless Dispatch Service, when interconnected with ARINC's Wireless and Global Network Services, provides a seamless link between air transport company operational centers and the mobile workforce at various hub airports. This gives ARINC customers the ability to provide data interchange between central flight operations, the aircrew, and the ground crew regardless of their physical location, whether in the air or on the ground. This gives airports the capability to turn an airplane around at the gate in the minimum amount of time while ensuring on-time departures and arrivals.

In launching this service, ARINC has extended its proven capabilities to offer these mission-critical, wide-area, and mobile-campus services to single or multiple campus-based industrial companies via a Virtual Private Network offering. The offering is unique in that it provides a flat rate, non-usage based service - a first for the mobile telecommunications industry.

Typical customers for such a service are oil refineries, assembly plants, and even theme parks where the campus-based customer possesses the dispatch frequencies and already has a deployed analog trunking system, but wishes to upgrade to Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) data capabilities as well as greater voice capacity that translates to 6 to 1 over older technology.

ARINC Incorporated develops and operates communications and information processing systems for the aviation and transportation industries and provides systems engineering and integration solutions to the government and the aviation industry. ARINC is ISO 9001 certified. Founded in 1929 to provide reliable and efficient radio communications for the airlines, ARINC is headquartered in Annapolis, Maryland, with over 3,000 employees worldwide.

ARINC To Offer In-flight Broadband Internet Service
ARINC Inc., building on its Skylink business aircraft satellite broadband system, announced it will roll out a version for commercial airlines and is holding talks with several potential customers.

"Four domestic airlines have already expressed interest, and we're in a second round of talks with three of them," said Robert Thompson, senior director, ARINC Satellite Services. Details and preliminary pricing of the system will be announced at the World Airline Entertainment Association (WAEA) conference in Seattle next month.

"SkyLink for commercial aircraft will be smaller, cheaper, lighter and more capable than currently available broadband systems," stated Thompson.

ARINC rolled out its Ku-band satellite broadband for business jets in 2003 with a 35-pound Skylink avionics and antenna package. Skylink satellite coverage went live over North America in April 2004, and Skylink-equipped business jets now have two-way broadband connectivity from coast to coast, the company said.

Commercial Skylink will use a larger, fuselage-mounted antenna to meet the bandwidth requirements of expected passenger applications such as live TV and high-speed Internet, ARINC said. ARINC said it would "offer a range of configuration options including wireless 802.11a/b/g for the passenger cabin."

Commercial Skylink offers a bandwidth of 5 Mbps to the aircraft, and 256 Kbps off-aircraft. The business jet version is rated at about half of that. Both systems use the SES Americom Ku-band satellite constellation, the same system currently providing Skylink coverage of North America. A coverage expansion is planned in 2005 to include the North Atlantic routes, Europe, and the Middle East, the company said.

ARINC said it plans to conduct flight testing and to pursue the required Supplementary Type Certificates (STCs) with selected carriers in the next 14 months. The first commercial Skylink operational installations are anticipated in late 2005.




United also said that one of its Boeing 767's, which left Boston at 7:58 a.m. for Los Angeles, had crashed, but they did not know where. United said that plane was carrying 56 passengers, 7 flight attendants and 2 pilots.
``We are horrified by these tragic events,'' said Donald J. Carty, chairman and chief executive of AMR Corporation, the parent of American Airlines. ``Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of all involved.''
United also said that it was sending a team to Johnstown, Pa., where a United Airlines 757 crashed on the way from Newark to San Francisco. It was carrying 38 passengers, 5 flight attendants and 2 pilots.

The hon. Member for Newark asked what kinds of exercises we do. I genuinely accept that he wants to make a contribution in this subject, but he really ought to know that exercises take place on a weekly basis. We do tabletop exercises and command post exercises, we have three live counter-terrorist exercises every year on a national scale, and local authorities continually exercise at a very local level. We recently had live exercises involving hijacked aircraft, a terrorist occupation of off-shore oil wells and ships, and the threatened release of chemical and biological agents and improvised nuclear devices. If those are not high-level, complex planning exercises, I do not know what are. The exercise that happened at Bank in September 2003 involved scenarios very similar to those that we encountered on 7 July, and the practised ability to get people out of the tube probably saved more lives than were unfortunately lost during the incident.

This was the scenario for a port security exercise to test Port Newark's emergency response capabilities. More than 600 emergency responders and law enforcement personnel took part. In addition to NS police, Port Authority Police, the U.S. Coast Guard, the FBI, New Jersey State Police, CSX police, U.S. Customs personnel and the Waterfront Commission participated. A command post was set up near the Shared Assets Area's Port Newark Yard.

Excerpts of 911 Log on Sept. 11 Reveal Unfolding Terror The Associated Press Published: Oct 1, 2001

NEW YORK (AP) - The 911 entries started at 8:47 a.m. with the words "BLDG EXPLOSION." Incident No. 0727 quickly unfolded as a diary of terror, as call after desperate call rolled in from the World Trade Center. Excerpts from the log of the dispatcher for the Fire Department's Emergency Management Service were published Sunday in the Daily News.

The entries were published much as they appeared when they flashed on the computer screen Sept. 11. The time of each call is noted, and messages are abbreviated. MC stands for male caller, FC for female caller, STS for "states."

08:50:12 MC STS PLANE JUST FLEW INTO WORL TRADE CENTER--POSS COMMERCIAL AIRPLANE.

Then the calls began pouring in from One World Trade Center.

08:56:44 MC STS HE IS ON THE 87 FLR-STS 4 PERSON THERE W HIM-STS THERE IS FIRE.

08:57:26 PEOPLE SCREAMING IN BACKGROUND-STS CANNOT BREATHE--POSS SMOKE COMING THRU DOOR-FLR 103...TRAPPED.

09:04:50 MC-STS 103 FLR-CAN'T GET OUT-FIRE ON FLR...PEOPLE GETTING SICK

A report from the police aviation unit came in, saying people were falling from the building.

The dimensions of the disaster suddenly grew.

09:07:51 SECOND PLANE HIT THE SECOND BUILDING ... UNK EXTENT OF INJ.

09:09:14 MC STATES 2WTC--PEOPLE ARE JUMPING OUT OF THE SIDE OF A LRG HOLE--POSS NO ONE CATCHING THEM.

09:02:18 MC STS ON 106 FLR ABOUT 100 PEOPLE IN ROOM-NEED DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO STAY ALIVE.

09:17:39 MC STS ON 105 FLR...STAIRS COLLAPSE

09:36:33 FC STS THEY ARE STUCK THEY ARE STUCK IN THE ELEVATOR...STS THEY ARE DYING.

09:47:15 FC STS 2 WORLD TRADE CENTER--FLR105--STS FLOOR UNDERNEATH HER--COLLAPSE.

09:49:21 1 WORLD TRADE CTR...20 PEOPLE ON THE TOP WAVING...THEY ARE ALIVE PLEASE SEND HELP.

10:00:34 WORLD TRADE CENTER HAS COLLAPSED.

Suddenly all calls from that building ended. Calls from the north tower continued.

10:12:35 MC STS HE CAN BARELY BREATHE...105TH FLR

The calls ended at 10:33 a.m. as abruptly as they had begun, with a horrifying final note: "ENTIRE TOWER DOWN."
