In October 2016, Amphenol CIT acquired Star Aviation, gaining its nearly 20 years of experience in aircraft engineering, certification and a proven track record of successfully taking products from concept to installation.
Since 1999, Star Aviation had been a leading provider of design and engineering services, and testing and certification of manufactured products for in-flight connectivity applications on commercial, business and military aircraft. With a specialization in Wi-Fi and wireless connectivity system integrations, Star Aviation has designed thousands of Boeing and Airbus installations, becoming a leading integrator for commercial aircraft connectivity systems.
As a part of the Amphenol CIT brand, its comprehensive and fully integrated capabilities—taking a product all the way from concept design to installation—are second-to-none.
The company’s merged capabilities include avionic and system upgrades, IFEC system installation design, wireless cabin networks, cockpit standardization, custom equipment racks, interior reconfigurations, cabin security monitoring, certification management (STC) and more.
In addition to engineering and manufacturing, Amphenol CIT provides a wide range of technical services. From production illustration drawings and computer-aided drafting to product data management, we skillfully and seamlessly provide integrated engineering documentation to ensure customer success.
