LiveTV Signs Agreement with EMS Formation for Rugged Data Storage

ToughDisk 3500 SATA to Provide Rugged Data Storage for LiveTV`s Video and
Connectivity Servers
MOORESTOWN, N.J.--(Business Wire)--
EMS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: ELMG) announced today that LiveTV LLC has
selected the company`s EMS Formation business unit to provide rugged data
storage for up to 1,000 aircraft that are deploying LiveTV systems. LiveTV is
the world's leading provider of live in-flight entertainment and connectivity
systems for commercial and business airlines.

EMS Formation will provide ToughDisk 3500 SATA Rugged Hard Disk (TD3500 SATA)
assemblies that will be integrated into LiveTV`s Content Server and System
Controller (CSSC), a television video server, and the Connectivity Aircraft
Server (CAS). The CAS is used with LiveTV`s low-cost Kiteline connectivity
product, which allows airlines to provide passengers with free in-flight email
and messaging.

"We selected the TD3500 SATA after going through an extensive product evaluation
process. EMS Formation provided the performance and price needed for a rugged
data storage solution in our avionics environment," said John Stefanelli,
LiveTV`s director of procurement. "Equipping our servers with reliable data
storage supports LiveTV`s ongoing efforts to have our airline passengers feel at
home in the air with our in-flight TV, email, and messaging service."

The TD3500 SATA assembly includes a TD3500 SATA hard drive and isolation kit.
The isolation kit provides vibration isolation of the hard drive, making for
easier installation in the servers. The company has already shipped 100
assemblies to LiveTV and will begin making deliveries under the purchase
agreement in May 2009.

"LiveTV is one of the world`s leading providers of in-flight entertainment and
connectivity," says R. Nim Evatt, EMS Formation`s vice president and general
manager. "LiveTV`s selection of ToughDisk for its in-flight rugged data storage
needs demonstrates tremendous confidence in EMS Formation and our products."
