Is there any research done in finding optimal bands that do not interfere with the systems and could present IoT in Aviation as a strong application?
Wireless Avionics Intra-Communications (WAIC), a wireless communication system researched by AVSI (Aerospace Vehicle Systems Institute) is being developed to replace complex cabling with wireless in avionics. As per available material, the frequency band 4200 - 4400 MHz is the allocated band for the WAIC system.
Some key examples of Potential WAIC Safety Applications
- Smoke Detection
- Fuel Tank/Line
- Proximity Temperature
- EMI Incident Detection
- Humidity/Corrosion Detection
- Cabin Pressure
- Emergency Lighting
- Ice Detection
- Landing Gear (Position Feedback, Brake Temperature, Tire Pressure, Wheel Speed, Steering Feedback)
