The ARNAV Systems, Inc. RCOM-100 is a 
Globalstar satellite telephone system.  The RCOM-
100 interfaces with telephone handsets or aviation 
equipment with a standard “POTS” (Plain Old 
Telephone Service) interface.  This interface is 
sometimes called a “Tip/Ring” interface.  Any 
compatible telephone handset can interface with the 
RCOM-100, but in an airplane it must be used with 
aviation-approved equipment.   
 
The equipment in the Cessna, Model 180 aircraft 
includes an NAT PTA-12 POTS Telephone Adapter 
that is interfaced with a UPSAT SL15 Audio Panel.   
 
The controls on the audio panel can be used to 
answer an incoming phone call, but the PTA-12 
must be used in conjunctions with the audio panel 
to make a phone call. 
 
The RCOM-100 handles the communication with 
the ground based telecommunications network in a 
fully automatic method.  The RCOM-100 simply 
acts like a normal telephone from the users 
perspective.
