WALLACE CAN NOW COMMUNICATE ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET AT ANY TIME





 

World Communication Center and Icarus Instruments are joining forces to supply Rusty Wallace with Iridium Satellite Telephone service in both his Lear 31A private jet and his helicopter. This will allow Rusty and his passengers to stay in touch no matter where on the planet they might fly. They will even be able to check e-mails and the web while in flight.

The new Sky ConnectT cordless satellite telephone system, manufactured by Icarus Instruments, allows maximum flexibility for cabin class aircraft. The system has an Iridium transceiver permanently installed in the aircraft along with a base-station for the cordless handsets. Worldwide coverage using the Iridium satellite network means no holes, dead zones, handoff issues or
dropped calls. Whether on the ground or in the air, global coverage is always available at very affordable rates.

The WCC Aviation unit which is being installed in Rusty's helicopter provides the same worldwide Iridium service in a portable unit that, except for the external antenna, can easily be moved from aircraft to aircraft. The Motorola 9505 Satellite Telephone, which is an integral part of the unit, can be taken out of its holder to provide communications even when away from the helicopter.

"We are really excited to have the opportunity of working with Rusty Wallace to provide him with telephone and data communications whenever he is in the air", said Weldon Knape, CEO of World Communication Center. Steve Silverman, president of Icarus Instruments, manufacturer of the Sky ConnectT telephone being installed in the Lear, said, "Rusty
has chosen Sky ConnectT because it works everywhere in the world at any altitude, with no "dead areas" or dropped calls."

"With the hectic pace we keep, both on and off the race track, the WCC Aviation unit will be one of the most useful and functional equipment additions that we've ever had," said Wallace, NASCAR champion driver with more than 50 career race wins. "I'm extremely excited about joining forces with Icarus Instruments and I look forward to helping promote their top-of-the-line and state-of-the-art communications equipment and services."

Icarus Instruments has been manufacturing high technology solutions for the aviation marketplace for 15 years. The latest product, Sky ConnectT, has received worldwide acceptance. The Sky ConnectT telephone gives passengers and crew flying cabin-class aircraft the ultimate in flexibility, and calls at a very affordable price.
