Flightcell's DZM2 communications hub delivers secure, user-configurable two way voice and data communications via Iridium satellite or cellular phone, plus sophisticated ‘smart’ flight tracking, anywhere in the world. And it’s all seamlessly integrated in a very compact, lightweight environmentally sealed unit.
Flightcell DZM2 is the world’s most compact and advanced satellite phone, tracking and data system for aircraft and tactical vehicles. The compact hub integrates Iridium transceivers into aircraft and vehicle intercom systems, providing:
• Global point-to-point voice communications at all crew stations
• Global GPS position tracking
• Short burst or circuit switched data transmission.
DZM2 allows mission-critical data to be sent from aircraft to base or aircraft to aircraft with the increased security provided by the optional embedded encryption system.
Flightcell DZM2 uses an Iridium handset to provide all the benefits of a built-in satellite phone system, while the phone can be removed in seconds from the Flightcell phone mount, providing mobile satellite communications.
