A.C. & R. AND AERONAUTICAL RADIO INC. EXPAND SERVICES
Rapid expansion in the communication services available to airplanes flying the vital Pacific air routes to Korea and the Far East was announced last Friday by Aeronautical Radio, Inc., of Wash¬ ington, D. C., and the Mackay Radio and Telegraph Company, subsidiary of the American Cable & Radio System.
Aeronautical Radio or 11 ARINC" , as it is commonly known, is a communications organization established and supported by the air industry to operate radio communication stations wherever required by the air transport industry.
Mackay, under terms of a contract with ARINC, broke ground for a large extension of its radio transmitter building at Kailua, Hawaii, on June 21, and before the deadline date of August 1, had com¬ pleted the structure and installation of four multichannel transmit¬ ters and associated antennas. The new equipment, which i\ra.s manufactur¬ ed by Federal Telephone and Radio Corporation, a subsidiary of the International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation, will enable ARINC to cover the entire Pacific area with both radiotelephone and radio¬ telegraph service to aircraft and base stations*
Expressing complete satisfaction with the speed with which the project was accomplished, ARINC, through its Washington head¬ quarters, stated that the installation has already proved of great value in expediting the increased flow of air traffic to the Far East.
