The Flightcell DZMx is the world’s only all-in-one satellite and cellular voice, data and tracking system for rotary and fixed-wing aircraft. All electronics are installed in one compact, panel-mounted control head – nothing in the avionics bay, and minimal wiring means substantial savings on installation costs. It is the world’s only all-in-one satellite and cellular phone system, providing crystal clear voice communications via Iridium satellite and cellular networks, so you’re always connected.
The DZMx is built to MILSPEC and DO160G standards, and designed to withstand extremes of temperature, vibration and impact. Housed in a super strong extruded alloy case, with minimal wiring, it’s fast and simple to install. Incredibly, the DZMx weighs only 1.4lbs (650g)!

Installation Determination for Major / Minor Alterations (FAA)
For determining whether an installation requires to have FAA Certification, Flightcell has prepared a questionnaire to help assess if an STC is needed. The file 'Major_Minor_Alteration_Determination_FAA' is attached.
