EMS Satcom announces new SwiftBroadband data terminal
EMS Satcom has announced the first delivery of its new single SwiftBroadband channel eNfusion HSD-Xi High-speed data terminal. The terminal adds one SwiftBroadband and one Swift 64 channel to the company’s HSD-440 high-speed data transceiver.
The combined system becomes a dual-channel SwiftBroadband system, while also offering classic services in an 8 plus 2 Modular Concept Unit (MCU) form factor. The HSD-Xi terminal’s first installation was on a US-based Bombardier Challenger 605.
“With the addition of the HSD-Xi terminal, our seventh SwiftBroadband product, to the eNfusion line, we have added more capability to our already feature-rich HSD-440 High-speed Data transceiver,” said Jean Ménard, EMS Satcom’s director of commercial dales. “The additional channel of SwiftBroadband gives passengers more bandwidth for internet browsing, streaming services, voice calls and texting in flight. Because of its safety-services capability, crews have more flexibility to fly oceanic routes.”
