" Moving over to the cabin side, we received some
feedback from a lot of our users that our older wireless
access points needed to be upgraded, and so we've
done that now and we're happy to announce we'll have
our new and improved access point available later
this year, " Ayala said. " It's going to have beefed-up
connectors so that we can bring in a little bit better
reliability and have some of the latest Wi-Fi, streaming
and protocols to go with it. " The WAP-6000 will
provide 4K streaming and high-definition content for
multiple devices, include Wi-Fi 6 capability and WPA3
security, plus offer a remote mounting option.

" Today, we're here to bring you LaceLok, the
smarter option for secondary wire harness support, "
Shane Leary, business development manager for
Daniels Manufacturing Corp., said as he opened his
presentation. The new product essentially replaces
" hand-tied lace and cable ties. "
" Why LaceLok? Hand-tied lace and cable ties
have been used for many years, with a lot of issues.
To prevent that, we came out with LaceLok, " Leary
continued. " LaceLok is safer, more consistent and has
superior performance. It also installs faster. "
According to the company, using LaceLok will
help prevent inconsistent installations, repetitive
motion injuries, operator abrasions and fatigue, losttime
accidents, and abrasions to wires and nearby
components. LaceLok also helps prevent brittle or
loosening support resulting from exposure to extreme
temperatures, chemicals and ultraviolet light.
Other benefits of LaceLok, according to the company,
include an ergonomic design to reduce repetitive
motions and smooth fastener termination at 20 pounds
of force, eliminating abrasion injuries while adding
consistent loop force. The meta aramid fiber material
used is rated for operation in extreme temperatures,
from minus 65 degrees Celsius to 260 degrees Celsius,
and is resistant to hydraulic fluid, lubricating oil and
fuel while also being 40% lighter than large cable ties.
It also installs up to three times faster than most hand30

tied lace, which
makes it quick
and easy to train
personnel to use. Its
consistency helps
prevent reworking
harness assemblies.
Daniels Manufacturing offers a LaceLok starter
kit, which includes an installation tool, 100 pieces of
LaceLok, a removal tool and an extra cutting blade.
LaceLok is Mil Spec-qualified to MIL DTL 32554 and
MIL DTL 32555 and is approved by SAE in AS50881H.

Bob Whetsell of FDS introduced the new services
to attendees, adding that the company thinks " the
foundation of our customers' safety analysis programs
and maintenance analysis programs are based on
a secure, accurate readout " of available recorders.
" There's a ripple effect that goes forward if you
have bad data coming from your recorder, especially
your flight data recorder, and that affects any
