ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 8, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- EMS Technologies (Nasdaq:ELMG) announced today at the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) 2003 Annual Meeting & Convention a reduction of the HSD-128 High Speed Data Satcom system manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $182,750 to a new MSRP of $135,000 for any systems sold into Business Aviation.
The ongoing success of the HSD-128 cost-improvement program has led EMS to offer an MSRP reduction of $47,750 for its popular HSD-128 High Speed Data Satcom terminal to operators in Business Aviation. This pricing is effective now through the end of 2003. HSD systems are available directly from EMS or from any authorized EMS distributors or installing dealers. Interested parties should contact EMS directly for additional details.
"Our goal in offering this significant price reduction to Business Aviation is to help make the High Speed Data capability very affordable to Flight Departments serving the communication needs of their executive customers," said Dr Neil MacKay, senior vice president and general manager of the EMS SATCOM Division.
