Indonesia’s Heli-SGI Selects SKYTRAC’s Satellite Transceiver That Connects In Challenging Weather Conditions Including Active Volcanos

March 13, 2022

SKYTRAC Systems Ltd. (SKYTRAC), a provider of satellite communications (Satcom) and intelligent connectivity solutions, announced that Heli-SGI, an Indonesia-based company providing rotary and fixed-wing aviation services to the mining, tourism, and VIP sectors, will use SKYTRAC’s Iridium Satcom terminals to enable mission-critical capabilities onboard their Bell 212 and Bell 412 helicopters.

Heli-SGI has selected SKYTRAC’s satellite transceiver, the ISAT-200A, for a cost-effective and powerful Satcom and onboard server solution. The proven multifunctional system will enable Heli-SGI with real-time two-way voice and text communications to connect air and ground assets, even under challenging weather conditions, with 99.9 percent uptime reliability. 

SKYTRAC’s ISAT-200A will also deliver automated flight following to track fleet activity and accurate flight data monitoring (FDM) tailored to Heli-SGI’s operational needs through SKYTRAC’s SAFR FDM software platform leveraging the ISAT-200A’s data acquisition capability.

“Operating in the largest island nation in the world has unique challenges,” mentions François Lassale, Chief Executive Officer at Heli-SGI. “We require reliable Satcom connectivity operable in terrain with active volcanoes, jungle landscape, and rugged mountains. We are one of the few utility operators who are developing Helicopter Flight Data Monitoring (HFDM) capabilities to enhance our safety and identify trends to further develop our training program. Utilizing the Iridium NEXT satellite network, SKYTRAC’s avionics provide us not only resilient connectivity but also capabilities to improve our operational safety and efficiency for our customers.”

SKYTRAC will also provide Heli-SGI with the DAL-200 access link, extending the ISAT-200A’s onboard capabilities with wireless in-flight and post-flight connectivity for seamless FDM data downloading post-flight. Heli-SGI will also use SKYTRAC’s CRU-200 inflight camera to discreetly record hours of high-resolution cockpit audio-visuals to enhance their flight data monitoring program.

“Our solutions are designed to offer secure and reliable communications for mission-critical operations anywhere on Earth,” mentions Jan van der Heul, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, SKYTRAC. “We look forward to expanding our Asia-Pacific presence and supporting Heli-SGI in their mission to provide safe and efficient aviation services to their customers.”
