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. For more information see www.icarustinstruments.com
