Business Wire
EMS Aviation, a division of mobile connectivity leader, EMS
Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ELMG) announced today that Vancouver,
British Columbia-based Anderson Air has selected the Aspire™ 200 LG
airborne communications system for its Cessna® Sovereign aircraft.
Anderson Air operates the aircraft for a Canadian company.
“Interest in our Aspire product line from aircraft operators,
OEMs and our dealer network continues to ramp-up,” said John
Jarrell, Vice President and General Manager, EMS Aviation. “EMS has
been delivering satellite communications systems for more than 20
years, and in that time we’ve learned that flexibility, ease of
installation and ability to upgrade are what drive system
selection. We are extremely pleased to work with Anderson Air to
provide their customer with our best-in-class in-flight
connectivity system.”
The Aspire 200 system, to be installed in Anderson Air’s Cessna
Sovereign aircraft, includes a CNX® 200 Network Accelerator and is
designed to deliver feature-rich voice and data connectivity to
owners and operators of small- and medium-sized business aircraft.
Key features of the Aspire system include standard wiring
configuration and interfaces that support either Iridium or
Inmarsat components. Operators can easily upgrade systems without
rewiring the cabin or changing out the avionics racks. The system
can be upgraded by exchanging the Aspire CSU Iridium (voice and
low-speed data) transceiver for the Inmarsat HDU (voice and
high-speed data) transceiver, and also by adding a higher gain
Inmarsat antenna. Aspire’s Inmarsat system data rates run from up
to 200 kbps with a low-gain antenna, to 330 kbps with an
intermediate-gain antenna and 432 kbps with a high-gain
antenna.
“Connectivity has become an essential part of our flight
operations, and passengers expect to be able to make a call and
have Internet access while in-flight,” says General Manager David
Anderson, Anderson Air. “In this particular case, the company flies
regularly to South America and Europe, and needs voice and data
contact during the long flights. We selected the Aspire solution
because it fits our own and our customer’s requirements and it also
offers an easy upgrade path to even greater bandwidth if
needed.”

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements contained in this press release regarding the
Company’s expectations for its financial results for 2011 and the
potential for various businesses and products are forward-looking
statements. Actual results could differ materially from those
statements as a result of a wide variety of factors. Such factors
include, but are not limited to economic conditions in the U.S. and
abroad and their effect on capital spending in our principal
markets; difficulty predicting the timing of receipt of major
customer orders, and the effect of customer timing decisions on our
results; our successful completion of technological development
programs and the effects of technology that may be developed by,
and patent rights that may be held or obtained by, competitors;
U.S. defense budget pressures on near-term spending priorities;
uncertainties inherent in the process of converting contract awards
into firm contractual orders in the future; volatility of foreign
currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar and their
effect on purchasing power by international customers, and on the
cost structure of the our operations outside the U.S., as well as
the potential for realizing foreign exchange gains and losses
associated with assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies; successful resolution of technical problems, proposed
scope changes, or proposed funding changes that may be encountered
on contracts; changes in our consolidated effective income tax rate
caused by the extent to which actual taxable earnings in the U.S.,
Canada and other taxing jurisdictions may vary from expected
taxable earnings, changes in tax laws, and the extent to which
deferred tax assets are considered realizable; successful
transition of products from development stages to an efficient
manufacturing environment; changes in the rates at which our
products are returned for repair or replacement under warranty;
customer response to new products and services, and general
conditions in our target markets (such as logistics and space-based
communications) and whether these responses and conditions develop
according to our expectations; the increased potential for asset
impairment charges as unfavorable economic or financial market
conditions or other developments might affect the estimated fair
value of one or more of our business units; the success of certain
of our customers in marketing our line of high-speed commercial
airline communications products as a complementary offering with
their own lines of avionics products; the availability of financing
for various mobile and high-speed data communications systems; risk
that unsettled conditions in the credit markets may make it more
difficult for some customers to obtain financing and adversely
affect their ability to pay, which in turn could have an adverse
impact on our business, operating results and financial condition;
development of successful working relationships with local business
and government personnel in connection with distribution and
manufacture of products in foreign countries; the demand growth for
various mobile and high-speed data communications services; our
ability to attract and retain qualified senior management and other
personnel, particularly those with key technical skills; our
ability to effectively integrate our acquired businesses, products
or technologies into our existing businesses and products, and the
risk that any such acquired businesses, products or technologies do
not perform as expected, are subject to undisclosed or
unanticipated liabilities, or are otherwise dilutive to our
earnings; the potential effects, on cash and results of
discontinued operations, of final resolution of potential
liabilities under warranties and representations that we made, and
obligations assumed by purchasers, in connection with our
dispositions of discontinued operations; the availability,
capabilities and performance of suppliers of basic materials,
electronic components and sophisticated subsystems on which we must
rely in order to perform according to contract requirements, or to
introduce new products on the desired schedule; uncertainties
associated with U.S. export controls and the export license
process, which restrict our ability to hold technical discussions
with customers, suppliers and internal engineering resources and
can reduce our ability to obtain sales from customers outside the
U.S. or to perform contracts with the desired level of efficiency
or profitability; our ability to maintain compliance with the
requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration and the Federal
Communications Commission, and with other government regulations
affecting our products and their production, service and
functioning; and costs associated with a recent announcement by one
of shareholders that it intends to nominate four directors to our
Board. Further information concerning relevant factors and risks
are identified under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
