Carlisle Interconnect Technologies Showcases Installation Solution for Electronically Steered Antenna (ESA) Technology at 2019 APEX Expo

Sept. 5, 2019
CIT to showcase its extended aviation engineering capabilities for installation solutions of ESA technology on business and regional aircraft.

Carlisle Interconnect Technologies (CIT), a division of Carlisle Companies Incorporated (CSL), announced today that it will exhibit its industry-leading installation solution for Electronically Steered Antenna (ESA) technology at the 2019 APEX EXPO trade show in Los Angeles from Sept. 9-12. CIT will showcase its integration of thermal management design in packages suitable for business and regional aircraft in the South Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center, Booth No. 1933.

CIT’s extended capabilities into the integration of an installation solution compatible with ESA technology addresses the In-Flight Entertainment, Connectivity & Interiors (IFECI) challenges. The aerodynamic design allows for a simplified, standardized, and universal SATCOM installation, resulting in lower maintenance, reduced cost of ownership and improved speed-to-market for customers.

At the 2019 APEX EXPO, CIT will showcase expanded capabilities for IFECI equipment with its installation solution for ESA technology into the aerodynamic and structural package design of business and regional aircraft. Using the ARINC 781 footprint for SATCOM on business and regional aircraft, CIT takes advantage of existing OEM provisions to improve airlines’ speed-to-market. Aerodynamic design models establish a low drag shape that advances in-flight cooling and efficiently moves heat load from antenna chips to radiator zones. This efficient transportation of heat maintains uniform temperatures over large areas to optimize antenna operating conditions.
