What Is Power over Ethernet and Why It’s a Game-Changer for Simulated Avionics
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is exactly what it sounds like: a way to deliver DC power and Ethernet data over the same standard network cable . Instead of running an Ethernet cable and a separate power cable (plus an outlet or power supply), PoE lets you install and operate compatible devices using one cable from a PoE switch or injector. In the world of flight simulation hardware , that simplicity translates into something every integrator and prime cares about: faster build


Why Primes Choose Simtek for 737 Simulator Avionics
Southwest Airlines - 737 When a prime contractor is building or upgrading a 737 full-flight simulator , the avionics inside the cockpit aren’t just “parts.” They’re training-critical components that must survive relentless use, stay consistent across devices, and be supportable for years—often decades. At Simtek , we’ve earned a reputation as the team primes call when they need 737 simulator avionics that hold up in the real world of flight training —where switches get cycled


So… What’s Behind the Squirrel?
Volans Sciurus = The Flying Squirrel If you’ve seen Simtek at a trade show, on LinkedIn, or our other Social media outlets, you’ve probably noticed him: our little flying squirrel. So what’s his story? The flying squirrel goes all the way back to the early days of Simtek, when the company softball team needed a name and a mascot. Founder Chris Cowley wanted something fun—but also something that quietly said what we do. He landed on the Flying Squirrels . Just like a flying sq
