Honeywell’s Multi-Channel Satcom (MCS) systems will be supported by Ontic under a licensing agreement signed by the two companies. Ontic specializes in manufacturing parts and components under license to the original equipment manufacturer, including complex engineered parts and electronics.
The agreement covers the MCS-4000/4200 and 7000/7200 MCS systems, which have been installed in airliners and business jets such as the Falcon 900, 2000, 7X, and 8X. Ontic plans to move the MCS repair and upgrade operations to its Chatsworth, California facilities.
The MCS systems are Inmarsat L-band satcoms that are used for two-way Classic Aero voice communications and data transmission. MCS service speed is up to 432 Kbps using either Swift64 or SwiftBroadband. The systems can be integrated with Honeywell Epic avionics and used for safety services such as controller-pilot datalink communications for FANS 1/A.
“We’re pleased to extend our partnership with Honeywell with this new license, which will be an exciting expansion to our existing operations,” said Ontic v-p and chief commercial officer Gareth Blackbird. “This adds to our experience with highly complex electronic systems at Chatsworth, further securing Ontic as the go-to partner to ensure established aircraft continue to have a strong, reliable, and progressive supply chain for repairs and upgrades.”
