EMS SATCOM, a division of EMS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:ELMG), introduced its
new SwiftBroadband equipment bundles, eNfusion(tm) System 6 and eNfusion System
7 at EBACE today. The two systems, which are SwiftBroadband communications
packages, offer high-quality airborne voice, data and Internet connectivity
designed to appeal to a broad range of business jet owners and operators.
"We have designed System 6 and System 7 to appeal to business jet users who
demand a complete worldwide office capability at an affordable price," says Vice
President of SATCOM Sales Steve Newell. "The real value of these two systems is
their high level of integration. Aircraft owners and operators who are ready to
retrofit aircraft for connectivity can achieve high-quality capabilities and
worldwide coverage with three components. Other competitive offerings require a
greater number of integrated systems to provide the same coverage."
"System 6 and System 7 also address the rise of Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs),
such as a BlackBerry(r) or an iPod Touch(r)," he continues. "They are
increasingly becoming the business traveler's device of choice. And now, with
Wi-Fi MIDs entering the market, the demand for cost-effective communications
will continue to grow."
More about eNfusion System 6 and System 7
System 6 is designed to address Class 6 SwiftBroadband service and is composed
of the new eNfusion HSD-467 High-speed Data Terminal, an AMT-3800 High-gain
Antenna, and the CCU-200 Communications Convergence Unit. System 7 is designed
to address Class 7 SwiftBroadband service and comprises the eNfusion HSD-467
High-speed Data Terminal, the AMT-3500 Intermediate-gain Antenna, and the
CCU-200 Communications Convergence Unit.
With a reduced form-factor and new voice capability, the CCU-200 networking
product is the latest in a series of market-leading business jet networking
appliances. The CCU-200 device builds on the success of the company's CNX(r)
Cabin Gateway networking products through the addition of a PBX. Both systems
offer air transport-quality communications at a price point suitable for
mid-sized business aircraft. Both also provide a dual-channel voice system with
Inmarsat's acclaimed SwiftBroadband service.
"We have leveraged our experience in implementing our eNfusion system to create
an entry-level system with connectivity that exceeds the capabilities of the
voice-only solutions currently in the market," says Newell.
Like all of EMS SATCOM's eNfusion offerings that are integrated with a CNX(r)
Cabin Gateway or CCU-200 Communications Convergence Unit, the two new systems
offer extremely low-cost Wi-Fi E-mail connectivity -- using a BlackBerry, iPod
Touch or other Wi-Fi enabled device.
