Here's a quick summary of what Avidyne announced during last weeks AEA:

 

MK10 Mini Keyboard

The pocket-size MK10 Mini Keyboard,  measuring 4.5 inches x 2.25 inches x 0.375 inches, is a customized Bluetooth device offered by Avidyne specifically for the IFD540 and IFD440.  The MK10 lets pilots wirelessly enter flight plans and waypoints, execute "Direct TO" operations, change Pages and Tabs, and zoom the Map range in and out, among other things.  

The MK10 Mini Keyboard will be enabled for the first time via a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) after the certification of the upcoming Release 10.1 software upgrade for the IFD540 and IFD440 is completed.

Avidyne will continue to work with selected device and application developers to expand upon the significant potential of wireless connectivity capabilities in the cockpit made possible with WiFi and Bluetooth technologies, and announcements of additional wireless functionality will be forthcoming with future software releases.

 

AXP322 Remote Mount Transponder

The AXP322 is a remote-mounted Class 1 (250Watt), Mode S, Level 2 1090MHz  Datalink Transponder with  Extended Squitter (ES) that meets all the requirements for Mode S elementary surveillance for both IFR and VFR flight.  The fully TSO’d AXP322 encodes and transmits the required ADS-B Out information, including your aircraft’s GPS-derived position, along with ground track, ground speed and altitude, in a series of extra pulses (called Extended Squitter) on the Mode S data stream.

Measuring only 2.44”x 1.70” x 5.55” and weighing only 1.0 lbs, its compact design allows the AXP322 to be remotely mounted virtually anywhere in the aircraft, with display and mode selection controlled by any IFD540 or IFD440 using Release 10.1 software.

 

MLX200 & MLX210 ADS-B Transceiver 

The MLX200 provides 978MHz ADS-B IN and ADS-B OUT which can be displayed on Avidyne’s IFD540 and IFD440 GPS/NAV/COMs, and also on an Avidyne EX500, EX600 or EX5000 Multi-Function display (MFD). The IFD540 and IFD440 provide a compliant GPS source needed for ADS-B.
The MLX210 is the same as the MLX200 except it also has a compliant GPS sensor built it. It is designed for customers with an Avidyne EX500, EX600 or EX5000 MFD, but without a compatible or compliant GPS.

 

Avidyne previously announced their MLB100 ADSB-IN Receiver that is designed for IFD540 or IFD440 customers who want ADS-B IN, and they are equipping with an Avidyne AXP340 Mode S Transponder with 1090MHz ADS-B OUT. The MLB100 provides a great FIS-B weather and traffic solution for aircraft flying above 18,000 feet in the CONUS. Release 10.1 software is required in the IFD540 and IFD440 in order for them to display ADS-B information.

They have any announcements on the ADS-B stuff indicating it will display on the Aspen products?
