Firan Technology Group Achieves Major Milestone with TCCA Certification for Edge+ on Boeing 737NG Family

TORONTO, May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Firan Technology Group Corporation (TSX: FTG) (OTCQX: FTGFF) (“FTG” or “the Corporation”) today announced that its FLYHT subsidiary has been awarded a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) by Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) for the AFIRS Edge+™ product on the Boeing 737NG family of aircraft. This milestone certification clears the path for global deployment of FLYHT’s 5G Wireless Quick Access Recorder (WQAR) on one of the world’s most widely used commercial airframes.

“The Edge+ approval for the Boeing 737NG paves way for global installations of the industry’s first 5G Wireless QAR plug-and-play solution and it is a pivotal achievement for our subsidiary FLYHT and a key part of our plan to create value from the FLYHT acquisition,” said Brad Bourne, President & CEO of FTG. “Edge+ replaces aging 2G and 3G recorders with a true 5G platform, ensuring airlines can continue to leverage real-time aircraft data for safety, operational efficiency, and innovation. We look forward to working closely with our airline partners to integrate Edge+ seamlessly into their fleets.”

The AFIRS Edge+ is a direct, plug-and-play replacement for legacy WQAR systems that are reaching end-of-life as older cellular networks sunset. As the industry’s first 5G-enabled WQAR, the AFIRS Edge+ delivers the bandwidth and reliability required to meet next-generation data demands—from advanced predictive analytics to reducing ACARS costs. With TCCA approval in hand, FTG will expand regulatory compliance to additional jurisdictions in the coming months, enabling broader market access for Edge+ across Boeing 737NG operators worldwide.
