16 Oct 2017 – Fort Worth, TX – Outerlink Global Solutions is proud to announce EASA and Transport Canada STC approval of their fully integrated IRIS voice, video, flight data and broadband satcom system in the Sikorsky S92 helicopter. The IRIS solution includes the REAL TIME HUMS (RTHUMS) data streaming developed in collaboration with Sikorsky and PHI. Initially announced at the Heli Expo in Dallas earlier this year, the RTHUMS capability has finally become a reality due to the increased bandwidth and affordable cost of streaming data over satellite. At about one-tenth of the cost of sending data over existing satellite networks, the IRIS system provides a constant IP satellite connection with global coverage from Australia to Canada, Europe, the Far East and African regions.
