I guess some clarification is in order. The Phase I hardware was
provided by UPSAT, long before Garmin bought them. Development on Phase
I has ended, and to say that Garmin built those boxes is akin to saying
Boeing built the DC-3. I just don't think that way.

Garmin bought UPSAT to prevent itself from being frozen out of the GPS
market. Boeing never wabted anything from Douglas.

Phase II, the current project, is powered by Chelton displays, and the
same UAT boxes supplied under Phase I. So, yes, I guess I was incorrect
to exclude Garmin from the mix.

Paying $160 million for UPSAT is a pretty nice compliment from Garmin.

EAA says we are both wrong:

Garmin Buys UPS Aviation Technologies
Garmin International announced it would acquire UPS Aviation Technologies,
Inc. for $38 million in cash. Once approved and completed, UPSAT will become
Garmin AT and will continue operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of Garmin
International. UPS AT, Salem, Oregon, is the acknowledged leader in
Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) technology and is working
with the FAA in developing the Safe Flight 21 and Alaskan Capstone programs.
