Axnes, the innovator of Mission wireless intercom, has established a partnership with San Diego Gas and Electric Company (SDG&E), the leading organization in the US energy sector, and has made safety their top priority. They recently established a business relationship with Axnes to use the Axnes PNG Wireless ICS (WICS) expansion system for their general purpose helicopter fleet. The AXNES WICS system will be used to improve the communication, safety and situational awareness of its staff during infrastructure service operations (such as powerline services, maintenance and repairs). SDG&E is the first utility operator in the U.S. energy infrastructure industry to adopt AXNES WICS in its operations, demonstrating their focus on innovation, technological advancement, and their commitment to improving company and industry safety.
Axnes WICS allows crew members/technicians to conduct powerful communications and allows continuous hands-free voice-activated VOX communications, eliminating the continuous demand for opponent and arm signals, while maintaining real-time voice communications under critical operating conditions. In addition, the PNG system frees the crew from the burden of the wired connection with the ICS, minimizes potential obstacles, and allows free movement inside and outside the operating aircraft or platform. The PNG WICS system is designed to be integrated into any communication suite or deployed as a standalone mobile system. The system comes standard with AES256 encryption, which can provide robust, reliable, clear and secure full-duplex communication for wired or wireless crew members. The PNG system has an unparalleled noise reduction function, which is very suitable for utility aviation roles. It can also improve the situational awareness of the crew during ground inspections, start-up and maintenance activities
The PNG system is a digital full-task wireless intercom solution with the following unique features:

Our equipment is easy to operate and supports line-of-sight wireless communication, which improves mission capability and operational safety to cope with challenging mission scenarios, especially during on-site operations. "
PNG WICS frees crew members from the burden of wired connection to the walkie-talkie, while minimizing the possibility of the risk of ICS cable jamming. In addition, the wireless solution provides the ability to move freely inside and outside the aircraft, while maintaining real-time communication with the crew.
The PNG WICS system is designed to be integrated into any aircraft communication suite, and can also be deployed as a stand-alone portable system to provide wired or wireless crew members with powerful, reliable, clear and secure full-duplex communication.
