EMS SATCOM Adds Voice Capability to Its Cabin Gateway Product

EMS SATCOM, a division of EMS Technologies, has unveiled a new cabin gateway product that will enable voice capability via either Inmarsat or Iridium, and is available for either new installations or retrofits.

The system consists of EMS SATCOM's CNX-400 Cabin Gateway, its CNX CCU (communications convergence unit) and either a wired or wireless handset, with a cradle, that combines the PBX (private branch exchange), aeronautical router and accelerator into a single application.  It supports two-wire POTS (plain old telephone service), four-wire voice and 802.11g SIP (session initiation protocol) voice capabilities.  With four Ethernet ports, the CNX CCU also can support fax and printing capabilities as well.  In addition, users can connect multiple CCU's to the system, which will allow even more connectivity points.

The CNX-400 is the fourth in a family of eNfusion airborne networking products, which combines the compression and speed capabilities of EMS SATCOM's CNX-200 Network Accelerator to allow users more service choices.  06-02-2007.
