How we got to this point

Our journey is remarkable. When COVID-19 struck, the aviation industry persevered. Planes might not have been taken to the skies, but the work needed to improve those skies never stopped. Our team worked tirelessly to keep projects to deadline and ensure there was no delay in bringing these long-gestated ideas to fruition.

Our groundbreaking innovation revolutionizes the existing point-to-point data sharing paradigm, which relies on outdated and niche legacy technologies. Our innovation tackles a critical challenge in the realm of air/ground data link communication, where outdated VHF communication systems and proprietary technologies have traditionally hindered progress. We have identified a pressing need for modernization in this sector, as the absence of readily available and open-source solutions has stifled data-sharing capabilities and posed significant implementation hurdles for users seeking access to vital information.

We couldn’t have achieved this without the hard work and commitment of our incredible team, the trust and faith of our clients, and the valuable collaborations with our partners.

What’s next

As we prepare for the award ceremony on the 17th, we are more determined than ever to pursue technological excellence. This nomination serves as a stepping stone, and we’re excited to explore new horizons and set even higher standards.

This nomination is a significant achievement and a statement of intent for Airtel’s future. Our exceptional team is doing remarkable work, and it’s time to share it with the world.
