ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 8, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Today, EMS SATCOM, a division of EMS Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ELMG), announced its single-unit, high-speed Internet, voice and safety services satellite communications terminal -- the eNfusion HSD-440. The eNfusion HSD-440 will be unveiled at NBAA 2005, the National Business Aviation Association conference and trade show.
"Another first," notes Dr. Neil Mackay, general manager of EMS SATCOM. "We are rounding out our product portfolio, and delivering world-class SATCOM products to give our customers more options for in-flight office functionality than ever before."
The eNfusion HSD-440 opens up new opportunities for passengers to benefit from in-flight office services, with high-speed Internet and voice connectivity, while simultaneously allowing pilots to have access to critical cockpit voice and data services. The technology that delivers these critical functions also enables EFB (electronic flight bag), cockpit and cabin voice channels, as well as ACARS data. The eNfusion HSD-440 is SwiftBroadband-ready, and will be available in the second quarter of 2006.
"As the need for compact, all-in-one solutions for voice and data connectivity develops, EMS SATCOM is there with its eNfusion terminals. As the demand for in-flight, high-speed data continues to rise, we'll continue to be there," says Jean Menard, director of commercial sales at EMS SATCOM. "No company offers a higher level of capability and future upgradeability."
