The Indigo MOBILE system provides you with a portable yet reliable tracking solution for your aircraft. The system can be extended by using the two digital inputs available, and can be simply moved between aircraft should you need to.

KEY FEATURES

  • Portable and lightweight
  • Low cost (upfront and operational)
  • "Alert" function
  • 2 Digital Inputs for unbeatable versatility
  • Extremely reliable
 

Market-Leading Functionality

On top of AFF-compliant, high-resolution real-time tracking, the Indigo MOBILE has two digital inputs, which can be used to report a variety of aircraft parameters, such as Weight On/Off Wheels, Engine On/Off, Landing Gear Raised/Lowered, and many others. The MOBILE also monitors the aircraft's movement, and will optionally trigger automatic TAKEOFF and LANDING messages, based on GPS speed.

 

Safety

The Indigo MOBILE incorporates the same "Alert" function as the Indigo One - a simple activation by the pilot causes an Alert message to be sent on a priority channel, and the unit will switch to reporting on a 30-second interval.

Cancelling the Alert can be done by the pilot, after which the unit reports that the "situation" is over, and returns to the normal configured reporting interval.

 

Installation

The Indigo MOBILE requires no installation, and can be operated from a simple connection to the aircraft electrical power circuits. It can also be switched off with a power switch on the Indigo MOBILE itself. It can also be powered by one of our portable, rechargeable battery packs (optional extra).

Optionally, the cable can be permanently installed to pick up and report on aircraft parameters. 

 

Coverage

The Inmarsat satellite constellation provides reliable coverage between 78°N and 78°S, day and night, 365 days a year. This enables accurate tracking of the aircraft when out of radar coverage.

The Indigo MOBILE is designed to operate up to 55,000ft, and at speeds of up to 0.96 Mach.

 

Portability

The Indigo MOBILE can be detached from the cable with a simple yet secure locking mechanism. This allows an operator to install a number of aircraft with the cable, and rotate the Indigo MOBILE between aircraft. This means that you can track just the aircraft you want to, when you want to, which reduces your operating costs.

 
 

Operation Costs

You manage your costs by selecting which aircraft you want to track, and at what time interval you want them to report. Typically, the Indigo MOBILE costs less than US$1.00 per hour of operation, with a US$10 monthly license fee. Check with sales@indigosat.com for the latest prices.

 
 

Reliability

Operating on the Inmarsat satellite constellation, the Indigo MOBILE provides excellent reliability even in the most remote locations around the globe. Using an Indigo MOBILE gives you the security of knowing exactly where your aircraft is at any time.
