Applied Avionics
The Applied Avionics origination story dates back
to 1968, when its earlier incarnation, Aerospace
Optics, began producing custom edge-lighted panels,
knobs and annunciators for aerospace applications. Its
popular VIVISUN illuminated push-button switches
were introduced in the 1970s and upgraded in 1996
to incorporate LED lighting technology and was soon
joined in the company's product line by the NEXSYS
modular switching line of components. In 2015, the
company changed
its name to
Applied Avionics.
At the AEA
Convention,
the company
announced
NEXSYS LYNK,
represented by
the first product
in the new line,
the DCU120, a highly configurable integrated signal
processor based on a wide range of inputs and outputs,
and application-specific configurations.
Speaking to the assembled avionics technicians and
shop managers, the company's Joseph Stiffler said,
" For over 50 years, you've allowed us to provide
the VIVISUN lighted push-button switches and the
NEXSYS solid-state devices. Today, I'm pleased to
announce that we've advanced technology, and we are
embedding signal processors into the form factors that
we already provide.
