Rockwell Collins, SITA Roll Out New Tracking Options For Airlines

Rockwell Collins and SITA have both developed new packages that will allow airlines in many cases to cost-effectively transition from what had been passive, infrequent flight following to active tracking. Rockwell Collins acquired Arinc’s air-to-ground network in 2013.
