I.D. Systems ramp up American Eagle Airlines

Wednesday, January 13, 2010

I.D. Systems has received a purchase order from American Eagle Airlines to expand deployment of its AvRamp Wireless Vehicle Management System on a fleet of aircraft ground support equipment at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.

The order follows American Eagle’s initial implementation of the AvRamp system on a large fleet of ground support equipment at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport in 2009.


AvRamp works to counter various airport challenges - automatic, on-vehicle driver authentication, impact sensing, and real-time equipment visibility with geo-fencing boundaries for establishing restricted areas.

Providing safe and secure operational management functions, the AvRamp system meets the approval of the Federal Aviation Administration as well as the Transportation Security Administration regulations. [end]
