Description:
The Assistant Airport Director, Mr Mark Mellinger recognized the need for a reliable Airport centric emergency communications system that was not reliant on infrastructure and would allow communications of both voice and data.
A Barrett HF radio communications solution was proposed by NVIS Communications, a Barrett approved Systems Integrator in the USA. Mr John Rosica, President of NVIS Communications, commented “we knew the solution we proposed would provide first class emergency communications; but it also required an FCC license for specific HF channels and an Arkansas Department of Aeronautics grant. We assisted Mr Mellinger in submitting a strong case for the license and grant, both of which were approved.”
