When used in stand-alone mode, the PMAT XS accepts software parts from USB memory sticks. The PMAT XS also easily connects with Teledyne Controls’ LoadStar Server Enterprise (LSE) network distribution software, and securely stores all software parts and automatically distributes them to the PMAT XS using Ethernet, cellular and WiFi connectivity. Teledyne says to achieve this, it was built from the ground up for security it stores all software parts and downloaded data in an encrypted ‘vault’ on the loader, checks digital signatures at import and load time, and physically disconnects from the ground networks while the aircraft is being loaded, thus further enhancing security. The new Portable Maintenance Access Terminal – PMAT XS -addresses one of the key concerns of airlines and aircraft operators, ensuring the connection between the aircraft and the ground is not compromised while data is being loaded. Teledyne says it if dully compliant with ARINC and all relevant industry security standards for dataloading. Teledyne Controls has launched the PMAT XS, a new portable dataloader that integrates securely with Teledyne’s ground management system to provide automatic, secure distribution of software parts, such as navigation databases and application updates to aircraft.
