Aithre and Aerox Aviation Oxygen Systems have collaborated to integrate Aithre wireless monitoring technology into Aerox’s line of portable oxygen tanks for general aviation pilots.
The agreement also establishes Aerox Aviation Oxygen Systems as an authorized distributor for the entire Aithre product line. Under the terms of the agreement, Aerox will be the exclusive bundler of the Altus Meso wireless portable oxygen tank monitoring system for new portable oxygen systems. Aithre and Aerox will also co-brand the Aithre iOS tank monitoring app that links the Altus Meso to any iOS device.
Aithre and Aerox have announced a special price for the Altus Meso of $149.99 installed on any Aerox portable, plus the price of the Aerox portable oxygen system.
The Altus Meso can be added as an option to any new Aerox portable oxygen tank at the time of ordering so the user can receive a ready-to-go, integrated package.
The Altus Meso can also be installed separately from Aerox and other authorized dealers for $195.
The Aithre Altus Meso wirelessly pairs to your iOS device to display tank pressure, flow rate, and time remaining of any portable oxygen tank.
The Meso weighs just a few ounces and is plugged into any oxygen tank using the included high-pressure Tee-fitting. The Meso can be powered directly with a USB port. A battery pack is included and can be attached to the outside of the tank and is recharged using a standard USB cable.
The Aithre iOS app displays constant reading of key parameters so the pilot has instant knowledge of the status of their oxygen system. A built-in pressure altimeter allows reminders to the pilot when oxygen use is required by FAA regulation, and includes a reminder to shut off the oxygen tank after landing.
The Meso wirelessly integrates with avionics using the Shield EX-3. Also available is SPO2 and pressure altitude trend information directly on the Oxygen trending graph on the iOS app.
