Foxcom, a Global Invacom Company, Ships World's First
Iridium/GPS Repeater for Aircraft Hangars
London/Singapore, 11 May 2017 - Global Invacom Group Limited
("Global Invacom" or "the Group"), a satellite communications ("Sat
Comms") equipment provider listed on the Singapore Exchange and the
U.K. AIM Market, today announces that Foxcom, one of its R&D
and manufacturing arms, will ship its low-cost iridium/GPS repeater
to a leading international airline for installation in one of its
aircraft hangars.
Foxcom will install the new fibre repeater in the airline's
hangar at the end of May 2017. The repeater, which debuted in
October 2016, is the latest solution for aircraft hangars in the
highly successful range of iridium and GPS repeaters that Foxcom
launched in 2013.
With the ability to provide Iridium/GPS satellite signals inside
hangars, the airline can undertake avionics testing indoors at any
time, regardless of the weather, without having to move aircraft in
and out of the building. This greatly reduces aircraft-on-ground
time, man-hours and overall maintenance costs, therefore providing
an immediate return on investment.
Iridium satellite equipment is used worldwide but has
traditionally been limited to outdoor use, as building structures
block the satellite signals. Foxcom's Iridium and GPS repeater
allows communication inside buildings, using fibre optic for a long
distance between Outdoor Units ("ODU") and Indoor Units ("IDU"), or
coax for a low-cost repeater solution where ODU and IDU that are
just a few metres apart.
Beyond hangars, Iridium repeaters are used across a range of
locations and industries. These include underground civil defence
and military bunkers, oil rigs and ships, and large buildings.
Established in 1993, Foxcom specialises in radio frequency over
fibre equipment. It is a top supplier to satellite operators,
broadcasters and integrators worldwide, with products that offer
high performance, bandwidth and reliability. For more information,
