Global
aeronautical communications provider Satcom Direct (SD) announced at the
ongoing MEBAA 2016 in Dubai that it has closed its purchase of TrueNorth
Avionics, a manufacturer of cabin communications solutions. With the
acquisition of TrueNorth complete, SD significantly expands its ability to
provide advanced communications systems for VIP and VVIP aircraft. Satcom
Direct will be explaining the benefits of the new deal to Middle Eastern
delegates attending MEBAA 2016 at Booth 477.
Ottawa, Canada-based TrueNorth Avionics designs, develops
and manufactures satellite communications solutions for aircraft operators and
avionics OEMs. TrueNorth will become a business unit within the SD family of
companies focused on advanced avionics development.
“TrueNorth is a leader in the wide- and narrow-body
aircraft market, providing airborne connectivity systems to heads of state,
VIPs and high-net-worth individuals worldwide. It also develops custom
solutions to meet the unique demands of the VVIP market. The pairing of SD and
TrueNorth enables us to deliver the complete connected aircraft; cockpit to
cabin,” said Jim Jensen, founder and CEO of SD.
The acquisition of TrueNorth broadens SD’s avionics
product portfolio and accelerates SD’s efforts to bring fully integrated
communications solutions to customers. The Satcom Direct Router (SDR) and SD
Pro flight operations platform combined with TrueNorth’s highly advanced
avionics will give aircraft operators an unrivaled ability to manage their
aircraft communications systems, while giving passengers a user experience
which exceeds their expectations.
