Lightspeed Aviation has added Bluetooth audio capability to its entry level Sierra headset, making the entire Lightspeed line of aviation headsets compatible with Bluetooth cell phone, music, and audio alerts from aviation apps installed on Bluetooth-capable devices.
“Sierra already enabled pilots to use a cell phone via Bluetooth. By adding the music functionality, we are responding to the growing number of pilots that are accessing audio alerts from popular navigation apps. These alerts use the same Bluetooth protocol as music,” said Teresa De Mers, executive vice president of sales, marketing, and customer support.
Will these expanded features be available to current owners through a firmware upgrade?
