Smart Aircraft Interface Devices
webCS
The Ballard webCS® is the first highly integrated smart AID/server/router that securely bridges avionics data with wired and wireless networks in a single compact box. This wireless aircraft communications server platform is simple to install and configure, safe to interface with aircraft domains, and provides highly secure data transfer. The compact, versatile webCS enables aircraft operators to easily gather and process aircraft data, and then route it to where it is needed—whether on or off the aircraft.

Wireless Electronic Flight Bags
webFB
The ultra-compact webFB easily fits in the palm of the hand, yet incorporates the capabilities of both an AID and a wireless server. The built-in AID safely gathers essential data from the aircraft's ARINC 429 and 717 databuses and conveys it to custom software or EFB apps hosted on the internal server. Using a wireless connection to portable EFB tablets, the webFB securely delivers this valuable information right to the fingertips of the flight crew.
