Quecon Participates in Beam Signing Ceremony for NARTP’s New Aviation Research Facility
We were honored to take part in the beam signing ceremony hosted by the National Aerospace Research and Technology Park (NARTP) as construction progresses on its highly anticipated Building #2. This new addition is set to open in Spring 2026 and will significantly expand South Jersey’s role as a hub for aerospace research and innovation.
“Building #2 will provide critical space for startups, research institutions, and global leaders in aerospace to collaborate, innovate, and grow,” per Howard Kyle, President and CEO of NARTP. The beam signing marked a symbolic milestone in the project’s development, bringing together key stakeholders committed to advancing the future of aerospace technology in the region.
Located adjacent to the Atlantic City International Airport and the FAA’s William J. Hughes Technical Center, the NARTP is strategically positioned to support collaborative research and commercialization efforts in aviation, air traffic management, and emerging aerospace systems.
Quecon is proud to contribute to this ecosystem of innovation and looks forward to future collaboration within this expanded facility.
Team Spotlight – Alaskan Satellite Telecommunications Infrastructure Contract
The Alaskan Satellite Telecommunications Infrastructure (ASTI) is a cornerstone of modern air traffic management across Alaska, enabling reliable voice and data communications between remote FAA facilities. Replacing the aging ANICS system, ASTI supports the FAA’s mission in one of the most geographically challenging regions in the U.S.
The network includes 36 sites—29 remote locations, 3 hubs, 3 labs, and 1 Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC). A major advancement is the integration of a VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) sub-system, now active at 14 sites (including one international and one out-of-state location), with eight more deployments planned this year.
This investment by the FAA underscores the critical need for dependable communication infrastructure in aviation—especially in Alaska, where terrain and weather can severely limit access and response time.
At Quecon, we’re proud to play a key role in sustaining ASTI by operating the FAA’s Contractor Depot Logistics Support (CDLS) function. Our team provides round-the-clock logistical and lifecycle support, ensuring mission-critical systems remain operational.
Quecon’s CDLS team manages:
- 56,000+ inventory items across 20,000+ records
- An inventory valued at over $34 million
- An average of 338 field orders per year
- 162 new part additions in the last 12 months
Our field experience and direct coordination with ASTI technicians and engineers allow us to bypass generalized ordering systems, improving speed and accuracy. With boots-on-the-ground insight, we help ensure the right equipment reaches the right place—no matter how remote—minimizing downtime and maximizing operational continuity.
In Alaska’s high-stakes airspace, Quecon delivers the precision, reliability, and responsiveness needed to keep air traffic control systems running strong.
Community Impact: Investing in STEM Futures
Quecon has partnered with Atlantic Cape Community College (ACCC) to launch a new STEM Scholarship Program supporting students pursuing degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
This initiative reflects our belief that the future of our industry depends on a diverse, skilled, and empowered workforce. We’re proud to give back to the communities we serve and help inspire the next generation of mission-driven professionals.
Thought Leadership: ASTERIX & Modernization in Focus
On May 1st, Quecon’s Bob Lincoln delivered a well-received technical presentation titled “ASTERIX and the Transition from TDM” at the FAA’s NARTP Thunder Room. The session explored key challenges and modernization pathways in aviation communications.
Due to high interest, Bob will lead two additional sessions on July 9 at 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM. These talks are part of our continued support of FAA innovation efforts and Quecon’s commitment to knowledge sharing across the federal aviation ecosystem.
