Cobham wins $200m Airbus contract

Cobham Aerospace Communications said it had won a contract worth up to $200m from Airbus to supply a new safety system with the potential for extra revenue.

The system aims at providing voice and data air-ground communication and connects air traffic control applications to high-priority air-ground communication channels for regulated communications between pilots and air traffic control, as well as providing independent air-ground communications for other aircraft systems such as electronic flight-bags, in-flight entertainment, cabin distribution and other connected off-board networks.
