card access ports
on the front of the
device, allowing the aircraft
to be operated in multiple geographic
regions without having to swap out
SIM cards. The company said the
eRouter’s modular architecture provides easy expandability
and reduces costs by offering an operator only those services
they might currently require. It is designed with upgrades
and future and emerging requirements in mind.
When compared with other routers available for aircraft
installation, ICG said its eRouter features a more flexible
and scalable single-unit design for multiple applications.
It’s capable of numerous mounting configurations and is
self-cooling, requiring no additional fans or external heatmanagement devices.
Presently, the eRouter comes in three versions: A baseline product called the ERT-100 will perform data routing
functions, the ERT-120 provides enhanced data routing
functions like acceleration and compression, while the ERT140 provides telephony features, such as VoIP, analog and
PBX functionality. The company said it also is developing
two additional versions of the eRouter. The ERT-160 will
incorporate aircraft health monitoring capabilities while the
ERT-180 includes all of the above features plus telephony
and health monitoring into a single-unit design that will be
available in the first quarter of 2014.

Innovative Solutions & Support
One of the key features of Innovative Solutions & Support’s new Integrated Standby Unit is its ease of installation,
according to Mark McCoy, western sales manager for the
company. The ISU can be used to replace existing all-in-one
standby instrumentation or to eliminate and consolidate a
backup airspeed indicator, altimeter and horizon indicator
into one solid-state unit with an easy-to-read LCD display,
viewable at up to a 60-degree angle.
McCoy told attendees at the
AEA Convention that IS&S’s
new unit provides primary flight information
including airspeed,
altitude, barometric
correction, an attitude
indicator and a slip/skid

indicator, plus lateral and vertical (glideslope) deviation,
vertical speed, HSI/compass information and VOR bearing
in one instrument.
The ISU features lightweight, low-power draw, multiple
interfaces and options, is scalable to accommodate emerging
technologies, and can be customized by the operator. It supports
existing aircraft wiring and incorporates a proven air-data interface module. Optional configurations can include night vision,
an external magnetometer interface, standby radio management
capability and RVSM compliance. It also incorporates a capacitive touchscreen, supports video input and uses a USB interface,
along with Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
The company said its ISU also has an optional battery module providing one hour of operation of the unit during emergency conditions or electrical system failures. The ISU includes the
latest breakthrough in micro-electromechanical systems gyro
technology coupled with unparalleled history of IS&S air data,
RVSM and flat-panel display system experience. The result is a
highly reliable and accurate standby display system for retrofit
and OEM applications.

Jetcraft
Ken Elliott, vice president of avionics systems, introduced
Jetcraft’s newest offering: the HUD Vision Access application
provided by www.FlyRealHUDs.com, a plug-in simulation
for head-up displays and enhanced flight vision systems for
X-Plane flight
simulation
software users.
The application
provides a lifelike
“HUD with EVS”
simulation for
Jetcraft customers and allows
customers to explore the system’s
Jetcraft customers may fly a lifelike simulation of a

Heads Up Display with EVS.
X-Plane is a
popular PC/Mac
aircraft simulation platform that includes a number of business
jet models. Jetcraft’s application, designed by FlyRealHUDs.
com, enables Jetcraft’s HUD Vision Access customers to “fly”
lifelike, specific approaches around the world using the application. Although the HUD simulation is generic, most of the symContinued on following page
