traditional cabling with wireless
alternatives, aircraft manufacturers
can significantly reduce the weight of
cabling by as much as 70%. Development
efforts such as Wireless Aircraft Intra-
Communication (WAIC) are ongoing to
pursue this end.
Amphenol is helping avionics designers
navigate the challenges and complexities
of advanced connectivity solutions by
• Utilizing advanced composites and
high-temperature materials that
meet the stringent requirements of
aviation environments
• Embedding sensors into power products
to provide real-time monitoring of
system performance parameters such
as heat rise, voltage, and amperage
Analog Devices is helping avionics
designers navigate the challenges and
complexities of advanced connectivity
solutions by
• Providing cost-effective and highly
integrated narrowband and wideband
transceiver solutions to replace cables
with wireless connectivity
• Offering Wireless BMS that reduces
the amount of cabling needed in
electrified planes

Smart connectors are vital to
advanced air mobility (AAM).
Power connectors must be able to
communicate the power quality
(voltage, frequency, harmonic
distortion) between source and
load. This will enable the use of
changeable battery packs and
modular systems."
