ATLANTA, -- EMS Technologies, Inc. has further extended the capabilities of its HSD 128 satcom system to bring airborne connectivity in line with the normal business office. In independent flight testing, the HSD-128 aeronautical SATCOM terminal was successfully interfaced with an existing ARINC 741 Satcom System. The HSD-128 operating in selective mode now allows users the choice between Standard Aero-H voice and two channels of Swift64 high-speed data.
The HSD-128, first deployed on a U.S. military aircraft in late 2001, breaks the barrier of single-channel Inmarsat Swift64 systems and brings greater bandwidth to the aircraft. Dual 64Kbps channels provide two independent connections or can be combined to deliver 128Kbps of throughput. The HSD-128 fits into the HPA location of the existing SATCOM system and shares the same antenna sub-assembly. In this configuration, additional weight and space is not required to facilitate the addition of high-speed data to the aircraft.
EMS Technologies, Inc. is a leading innovator in the design and manufacture of space, airborne and terrestrial wireless solutions, and focuses its unique range of advanced technologies on the needs of broadband and mobile information users. The company is headquartered in Atlanta, employs approximately 2,000 people worldwide, and has manufacturing facilities in Atlanta, Ottawa, Montreal and Brazil.
The SATCOM Division of EMS Technologies, based in Ottawa, Canada, specializes in the design and development of satellite-based terminals and antennas for the aeronautical and land-mobile markets, and is a leader in the development and supply of high-speed data communications equipment for the supply of e-mail and internet capability to the aircraft cabin.
