Norway-based Axnes is well known for its Polycon wireless intercom system extension, which it developed in cooperation with CHC, Bristow Helicopters and the UK Royal Air Force. Over the course of two decades the EASA Part 21- and Part 145-approved organization has equipped more than 750 aircraft with wireless intercom systems, and is an approved supplier to OEMs such as AgustaWestland, Airbus Helicopters, Bell Helicopter and Sikorsky.
At Heli-Expo 2015 Axnes unveiled its new PNG system, designed to replace Polycon. The full-duplex wireless system works inside and outside the aircraft with AES 128 and AES 256 encryption. It is dual-band and ruggedized and includes integrated distress-transmission capability.
