Solution Description:

APPI COM is the most advanced tactical field communication device. Fully Duplex audio system allowing hands free communication between team members. What does full duplex system mean to IRIS? It means that each member of the team can communicate in a natural flow as if members are sitting around a dinner table. That means there is no need to depress a button. APPI COM allows team members to remain focused on their task and not reach down to press a button. This is especially true, when wiggling in and around air-craft wing components. Each user can use a head set that is most suitable for the user. For example, in-wing maintenance will require a system that is compatible with the respirator, while the maintenance chief may only require a simple boom mic and ear piece. The safety features of the APPI COM system are perfect working inside an airplane wing. There is a lone worker protection mode that has an installed pager, a “man down” and the safeline feature that alerts the tam if there is loss of communication with the group.
