Bombardier selects EMS Aviation for high speed internet connectivity

Bombardier Aerospace has announced that it
has selected EMS Aviation to provide new increased high-speed internet
connectivity as an option for Global
5000 and Global 6000
business jets. The new system features ViaSat Ku-band communication system and EMS router equipment and complements the aircraft’s
standard L-band SwiftBroadband system.

“Global
business aircraft cabins are specifically designed to provide a
highly productive working environment, a key factor in making these aircraft a
leading choice for corporations worldwide. EMS Aviation has been leading the
charge in the development of communication systems, using EMS
high-speed routers and Yonder Broadband service to provide the most resilient
in-flight data links,” said Stéphane Leblanc, vice president and general manager,
Global platform, Bombardier Business Aircraft. 

“Aircraft equipped with this system will be
able to use our Yonder high-speed Internet service to enjoy a truly
modern office environment anywhere in our coverage network,” said Don Buchman,
ViaSat director, Mobile Broadband. “The service will allow Global aircraft customers to make the
most efficient use of their time onboard.”
