A wireless high-rate communication device for a vehicle, adapted for data exchange between at least one computer system of the vehicle and at least one computer system of a structure separate from the vehicle. The device includes at least one antenna connected to at least one emitter/receiver in turn connected to the at least one computer system of the vehicle, the device adapted for exchanging data according to a point-to-point ultra-wideband communication mode, with a device of the structure including at least one antenna connected to at least one emitter/receiver in turn connected to at least one computer system of the structure when the at least one antenna of the vehicle is in a vicinity of the at least one antenna of the structure.

Devices for point-to-point wireless high-output data transmission between a parked vehicle and a fixed infrastructure

A device for communication between a portable computer system including a display screen and avionic equipment items comprises shielded walls forming at least a partial Faraday cage. The device also includes at least one wide band high output wireless transmitter-receiver arranged inside the shielded walls and adapted for carrying out a very short range point-to-point radio communication with the portable computer system when the portable computer system is placed inside the shielded walls. The device also includes at least one interface connected to the avionic equipment items and adapted for transmitting data originating from the portable computer system to the avionic equipment items and data originating from the avionic equipment items to the portable computer system, through the at least one said transmitter-receiver.

Device and method for communication between a portable computer system and items of avionics equipment

An ACARS message communications system including at least one on-board piece of equipment harbouring an application adapted for transmitting and/or receiving ACARS messages, and a router adapted for routing, via a plurality of subnetworks, ACARS messages from and/or to the application. The piece of equipment and the router are connected to an AFDX network and the application is adapted for dynamic registration at the router, via the network, the router only routing the messages if the application is actually registered thereat.

ACARS router for remote avionic applications

A system for routing ACARS messages towards a plurality of transmission media, configured to be loaded onboard an aircraft, including: a database including a plurality of routing profiles, each profile being formed by a list indicating a rank of preference for each transmission medium, and a selection mechanism extracting, from an ACARS message sending request, a routing profile identifier, and selecting in the routing profile stored in the database, corresponding to the identifier, a transmission medium, according to its rank of preference, the thereby selected transmission medium then being used for transmitting the message.

Routing-profile-based ACARS routing system

A method for transmitting ACARS messages over IP, between a transmitter and a receiver, includes dividing an ACARS message of a first application into a plurality of blocks. For each block of the message, except for the last, a dummy acknowledgment of receipt of the block is locally sent back at the transmitter to the application. When the transmitter receives from the receiver a message indicating proper reception of the plurality of transmitted blocks, the method further includes generating an acknowledgment of receipt of the last block before sending the acknowledgement of receipt back to the application.
