A small number of units were shipped at the end of this year's third quarter with the balance of the $850,000 in shipments scheduled to occur during the fourth quarter of this year. The communications test equipment is being used in a multi-year, multi-billion dollar FAA program to upgrade communications technology in the nation's commercial and military aviation control networks.
Emrise Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Carmine T. Oliva said the approval to start shipping was received following the successful completion of extensive design reviews and acceptance tests of a custom featured version of the company's Halcyon Universal Data Test Set (Halcyon Units) to meet specific FAA requirements.
"In addition to these shipments, we also expect to receive subsequent releases for future deliveries of additional Halcyon Units to be delivered for this important application over the remaining two years of our three-year agreement with the FAA," Oliva said.
The first shipment of communications test equipment under the company's agreement with the FAA was originally expected to occur in this year's second quarter. However, due to changes requested by the FAA to add additional features and acceptance testing requirements, delivery of the first few units was rescheduled to begin near the end of this year's third quarter with the balance to be shipped within during the fourth quarter.
The agreement with the FAA was received by the company's CXR Larus subsidiary located in San Jose, CA, which develops and supplies communications equipment, including network timing and synchronization products, other network access equipment and test equipment for both public and private networks.
"The FAA is one of our significant and long standing customers. We are proud to have been selected to provide test equipment that will be vital to the successful maintenance of our nation's critically important aviation control networks," Oliva said. "We believe receiving approval to ship $850,000 of Halcyon Units to the FAA demonstrates the continued confidence and value that the FAA places in CXR Larus products."
