TAKOMA PARK, MD, Feb. 20, 2006 — Sky Connect will display and demonstrate for the first time a new web-based mapping solution at Heli-Expo 2006.  The Tracker-MAPsystem provides street-level detail that enables operators to precisely pinpoint an aircraft's location any time and anywhere worldwide.  Members of the rotorcraft news media are invited to visit Sky Connect Exhibit (1796) at the Dallas Convention Center for a personal demonstration of this innovative new capability.

The company will also showcase its Mission Management Unit (MMU), which delivers single-switch control to satellite text messaging and voice calls. While in flight, operators may send standard messages, such as number of passengers, current fuel load, next landing site, etc., using preprogrammed text report functions.

Sky Connect, the leading manufacturer of Iridium-based aircraft tracking and telephone systems for rotorcraft, fixed-wing, and marine applications, developed Sky Connect Tracker-MAPin response to customer requests for a mapping solution that provides street-level detail, according to Wiley Loughran, senior vice president, sales and marketing for Sky Connect. Tracker-MAPis a web-based subscription service that allows users anywhere in the world to choose from more than 50 settings to customize the way they see and receive information. Loughran said the company anticipates strong interest in Tracker-MAPand the MMU from the rotorcraft community, especially offshore oil and air medical operators.

The Sky Connect tracking system provides operators with real-time knowledge of all airborne, ship borne or ground assets, improving peace or mind and enhancing safety, especially for those who operate in remote areas.  Operators can view the location, track and status of an entire fleet under any circumstances. The system also delivers quality voice communications.  More than 1,500 aircraft around the world are flying with Sky Connect equipment.
