system running on a high-powered processor, is designed to
connect aircraft audio, video and data sources to passenger
and ground-based devices, according to the company. The
Decoder Card, meanwhile, runs the Android operating system
on an ARM processor and delivers certified hardware capable
of running open-software platforms. According to Innovative
Advantage, this product allows new applications aboard the
aircraft without the need for costly, time-consuming hardware

Jupiter Avionics
Jupiter Avionics Corp. is a Canadian company bringing
together a team of internationally respected avionics professionals formerly with Northern Airborne Technology, each with more
than 25 years of experience in designing, developing and manufacturing airborne audio communication equipment. New among
the company's product line is the JA94 dual audio controller, a
compact, lightweight unit compatible with the current industrystandard interconnects. The JA94 supports up to eight users
- pilot, co-pilot and up to six passengers - and uses a Windowsbased application to make configuration setting changes. Fieldreplaceable illuminated legends mean only one version of the
controller can be used for many different mission configurations.
Jupiter's JRAC, meanwhile, is a remote audio controller
using either a cockpit display system or a Jupiter JCP-series
panel for control and display. It supports seven users: pilot, copilot and up to five passengers. Like the JA94, it's compatible
with the current industry-standards. The JCP3 reduced-depth
audio control panel also is new, and requires only 2 inches
of space for mounting. It's designed to work with the JRAC,
allowing substantial flexibility in placement of various hardware to control the aircraft's audio.
The company also announced the JA33 Bluetooth transceiver, which enables the wireless technology and allows a fullduplex smartphone interface to the aircraft's audio system via
an RS232 connection, including stereo output. Rounding out
Jupiter Avionics' new products is the JA31 intercom bus selector, providing two separate talk groups, interchangeable front
legends and an NVG-compatible option. The JA31 requires no
electrical power. Jupiter Avionics also announced an agreement
with Dallas Avionics to become its exclusive distributor.

L-3 Aviation Products
One of the early, tangible results of the FAA's mandate
for ADS-B has been an innovative series of products
flowing from various manufacturers and designed to
embrace new-to-the-cockpit technologies. Perhaps
the most innovative product to date is L-3 Aviation
Products' new Lynx family of ADS-B solutions, led by
the NGT-9000 next-generation transponder, the first
touchscreen, dual-mode 1090 ES and 978 MHz UAT
transceiver capable of presenting ADS-B traffic and
weather on its own display. Built in the same basic form
factor as popular panel-mounted transponders, the NGT9000 provides stand-alone, self-contained
ADS-B Out compliance as
well as ADS-B
In reception
of traffic
and weather
information.
Since it comes
L-3 Aviation Produ
cts' Lynx NGT-9000
with an internal
WAAS GPS position
sensor, the NGT9000 requires only a GPS antenna for basic operation
and features a high-resolution display that serves as both
a transponder screen and a multifunction display with
moving maps, weather, NOTAMs, TFRs and ADS-B
traffic. Internal active traffic and/or ADS-B antenna
diversity are available options aboard the NGT-9000. The
NGT-9000 also offers the flexibility to display traffic
on the unit itself, on a compatible EFB app via Wi-Fi
and on other panel-mounted avionics using ARINC 429,
RS-232 or RS-422. The NGT-9000 recently received TSO
approval.
L-3's Lynx family also includes four remote-mounted
models - the NGT-1000, 2000, and -2500 and a version
of the NGT-9000, the NGT-9000R, all of which provide
ADS-B Out compliance to FAA 14 CFR 91.227. The
NGT-1000 is a 978 UAT ADS-B Out-only unit, while
the NGT-2000 provides 978 UAT In and Out capability,
and adds a Wi-Fi dongle allowing wireless connections
with consumer-grade tablets running a compatible EFB
app. The NGT-2500 adds an interface to panel-mounted
displays via the ARINC 429 and RS-232 protocols. All
Lynx NGT models also incorporate their own WAAS GPS
position source, eliminating the need for an external GPS
connection.
