SmartSky Networks, the innovative air-to-ground (ATG) connectivity provider has partnered with the transformational aerospace company, Neo NextGen, to develop bespoke digital solutions powered by SmartSky’s digital platform, Skytelligence®. The effort will bring advanced technologies and data to an ecosystem of trusted partners including global aircraft components specialist AJW Technique (AJWT).
Announced during MRO Americas in Dallas, the collaboration with Neo NextGen and AJWT applies digital solutions to streamline MRO operations. SmartSky’s Skytelligence platform and APIs enable access to valuable data that helps Neo NextGen accelerate their mission of improving workflows and creating new efficiencies for MROs.
Monica Badra, Co-Founder and CEO, Neo NextGen says: “SmartSky’s technology enables us to transform the way that we access and visualize data. By working together, we can harness our combined resources and expertise to design a digital workflow that optimizes AJWT’s processes, creating operational efficiencies and unlocking incremental profitability for the component repair business.”
Brit Wanick, VP Marketing and Partnerships, SmartSky Networks adds: “We are proud to support Neo NextGen in their vision to transform aviation’s workflow through digital services and to demonstrate yet another way that SmartSky’s technologies are connecting the aviation industry. For us, connectivity in aviation is about much more than just the back of the aircraft, and we remain committed to connecting the entire aviation ecosystem by delivering dependable, responsive and secure access to real-time data from maintenance and performance information to situational awareness.”
Neo NextGen, SmartSky and AJW’s collaboration can be previewed this week at MRO Americas, Booth 1400.
