First SwiftBroadband Installation On Type

Duncan Aviation recently completed installation of the EMS eNfusion HSD-400 SatCom in a Bombardier Challenger 601-3R. This installation provides one of the first Challenger 601s to be upgraded with true Inmarsat SwiftBroadband capability. The installation allows passengers to use their personal Wi-Fi devices, including notebook computers, BlackBerry devices, iPhones and other popular data communication tools, in the cabin during flight.

This system utilizes Inmarsat's new SwiftBroadband system, providing two separate channels for a high-speed airborne internet connection. The installation included the EMS CNX-200 accelerator, new EMS AMT-50 high gain antenna and EMS high-performance, tail-mounted radome. As installed, passengers will experience data transfer rates up to five times faster than most other systems, giving them DSL-like speeds.
