D1000A

Blue Sky Network’s D1000A Iridium satcom aircraft tracker provides efficient, safe, secure, and global coverage for aircraft tracking. The FAA and Iridium certified D1000A enables optimized fleet utilization through extensive reporting capabilities and backend analysis tools. When paired with the ACH1000, the D1000A offers the ability to make voice calls and have two-way messaging.

Fleet managers can login to SkyRouter, our cloud-based tracking web portal, to maintain, view and communicate with multiple aircrafts simultaneously on a single map from a centralized command center. SkyRouter also enables over-the-air device parameter configuration, such as the reporting interval, allows for two-way messaging and e-mail, and can eliminate routing mistakes by supporting flight information. Reports such as GPS position, take-off/landing, altitude, and on/off gate make it easy for fleet managers to effectively track their aircraft. The crew can push a Quick Position (QPOS) button on the control head of this real time flight tracker, which immediately sends an alert to SkyRouter notifying fleet managers that an emergency has occurred.

The D1000A aircraft tracker, designed for fixed installation with a ½ ATI control head mounted in the cockpit panel – or complete portability – with the control head installed inside the main transceiver unit – integrates an Iridium L-Band Transceiver for data transfer and a built-in GPS sensor for position reporting. When permanently installed, the tracking device / modem is placed remotely in an avionics bay, while the corresponding control unit can be installed directly into the cockpit control panel of the aircraft. When portable, the two units fit together and weigh about six pounds.
