AI-ready, open edge computing platform delivers operator-controlled application hosting, cloud-managed infrastructure and 5G connectivity

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Teledyne Controls, a business unit of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated ( TDY ) and a leading provider of aircraft data management and connectivity solutions, announced the launch of the GroundLink® Edge Computing Platform (ECP) and AppLink cloud service, following Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) approval for the Boeing 737 aircraft series. For the first time, airlines can deploy, update and scale onboard software applications across their fleet remotely, without aircraft downtime, hardware modifications or aircraft-level certification for each new application. Every aspect of the system is managed by the operator via Teledyne's ( TDY ) AppLink cloud service.

This initial certification marks a significant milestone in bringing a new, software-defined aircraft data platform to one of the world’s most widely operated commercial fleets, with certification on other aircraft types to follow.

GroundLink ECP shifts beyond traditional standalone avionics and Aircraft Interface Device (AID) architectures to deliver an open onboard edge computing environment, integrating 5G cellular, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and ARINC 429/717 interfaces with an ARINC 679- and OCI-compliant application server. Operators can remotely deploy and manage applications developed internally, by Teledyne ( TDY ) or by certified third parties, with consistent performance across fleet types.

“The launch of GroundLink ECP represents a transformative step forward for our customers and for the industry,” said Mehrdad Radmehr, President of Teledyne Controls. “By giving operators direct control over onboard applications, ECP unlocks new ways to improve operations, support flight crews and accelerate innovation. We look forward to bringing GroundLink ECP to operators across the full breadth of the aviation market.”

ECP's open architecture removes barriers to innovation by enabling airlines to rapidly deploy and scale AI-driven and IoT-connected applications that improve operational efficiency, enhance real-time decision-making, and accelerate digital transformation initiatives across the fleet.
