Surion Medevac to get TruLink wireless radio system
Telephonics has been awarded a contract from Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) to integrate its TruLink wireless radio system in South Korea's KUH Surion Medevac helicopter, the company announced on 17 February.
This is the first time that Telephonics' TruLink full-duplex wireless intercommunications system will be used by the South Korean military. The system will be used by the military's medical teams to communication effectively during critical missions.
TruLink enables wireless intercommunications among all parties during ground or airborne missions, including the patient, the flight crew and hospital staff. It can operate as a standalone system or as a wireless extension to an onboard intercommunications system.
The system features an inbuilt ambient noise reduction feature, allowing for clear and intelligible communications in the high noise environments often encountered during Medevac operations.
Joseph Battaglia, president and CEO, Telephonics, said: 'Telephonics looks forward to working closely with KAI and South Korea’s Medevac teams to enhance the clarity of communications in extremely high noise environments, enabling them to more effectively administer care to patients in critical need.'
