Global Connectivity for Wireless Data Transfer and Automated Aircraft Data Retrieval
Teledyne Controls' Wireless GroundLink® System (WGL) provides aircraft operators with an immediate and secure solution to connect the aircraft to the airline's back office and support functions as diverse as Flight Data Monitoring, Training, Maintenance and Operations.

Wireless and Automatic Data Transfer
With WGL, physical media handling and data loss is virtually eliminated since the system uses wireless cellular technology to fully automate the recording and transmission of aircraft data. The raw data recorded during flight is compressed, encrypted and then securely transmitted via Internet directly to the airline's or Teledyne's ground-based data center for processing and analysis. With the right data at their fingertips, airlines can not only reduce operating risk and closely monitor safety, but they can also yield additional benefits, such as fuel savings and lower maintenance costs.

Download on Demand from Remote Destinations
In addition to routine data transfer, the WGL system, with its new Download on Demand (DoD) feature, enables airlines to remotely command flight data download whenever they need earlier access to their data, regardless of airport destination, designated hub or gate. The DoD function allows for timely retrieval of critical flight data from almost any airport worldwide so airlines can respond to potential issues in record time.

Quick and Reliable Data Recovery
WGL is a proven solution that provides unprecedented data recovery rates close to 100% and immediate access to flight data. Within 15 minutes after aircraft landing, flight data can be processed, versus several days or weeks with manual data retrieval methods.

Data Distribution from Desktop to Aircraft
Even more, the WGL system can automate the wireless distribution of navigation databases and Loadable Software Parts (LSPs) to the aircraft, when used with Teledyne's LoadStar® Server Enterprise software and Teledyne's enhanced Airborne Data Loader (eADL). The WGL system is highly connective and provides many benefits across an airline's operation by facilitating wireless data transfer between the aircraft and the ground.
