DragonSat for Iridium Service to and from Cockpit

DragonSat 

Portable Iridium satellite voice communications with 2-way iPad text messaging



The Dragon is a quick and easy solution for any aircraft. By simply connecting to its single (portable) antenna, for GPS and Iridium communications, and plugging into the pilot’s headset or audio control panel, the Dragon is ready to go. The Dragon connects users to an iPad or iPad Mini via Bluetooth - to send rich messages, dial outbound calls, and set up user-defined flight following intervals and OOOIs.

Although the Dragon has been designed primarily as a portable device it can also be mounted in a location of the operator’s choosing. To accommodate either scenario, the Dragon runs on a lithium battery and an optional 5V input from an external power supply. The Dragon comes with a portable antenna that can be mounted to any upward facing window or, for pressurized aircraft or aircraft with heated windows, the Dragon can also be easily connected to permanently-fixed external antennas.
