Precision Support Services Strengthens SmartSky® Dealer Network Installs SmartSky LITE™ ATG on PC-12
Research Triangle, NC – May 14, 2024 – SmartSky, provider of the most advanced inflight air-to-ground (ATG) connectivity for business aviation, today announced Precision Support Services has joined the SmartSky dealer network as a sales and installation partner. The Oregon-based aviation company offers full Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) services and has already completed an installation of SmartSky LITE™ on a Pilatus PC-12.
“Precision’s partnership with SmartSky is important because it adds capabilities to a proven inflight connectivity product already making waves in the marketplace. We chose to partner with SmartSky because they are delivering an unequaled connection for every seat in the aircraft with bandwidth to spare,” said Grayson Barrows, General Manager, Repair Station at Precision. “It’s particularly exciting to be able to offer streaming-level performance for light jets and turboprops like the PC-12. Plus, their ability to offer equally high-performance moving data to and from the aircraft makes new inflight capabilities possible to meet our customers’ mission requirements.”
