Connectivity for aviation services

Maintenance records and schedules are strictly controlled. Everything is moving, and the business depends on knowing where it is right now.

Internet, wireless and security for aviation services

Each of the three has to be right, and they are usually bought from different companies. We compare them together.

Internet

Maintenance tracking and scheduling systems need reliable connectivity.

Wireless

Hangars and ramps need wireless for tablets and tooling.

Security

Regulated records require controlled access and backup.

Records that must be right, in a hangar with no signal

By the Telecom Agency advisory team

Maintenance records are controlled documents. Technicians enter them on tablets in a metal hangar that blocks nearly every signal from outside.

What a consultant changes

An advisor arranges coverage inside the hangar and on the ramp, with the access controls and backup that regulated records require. Telecom Agency documents what was chosen and why, which is useful the next time an auditor asks.
