Installed on Nine Platforms with FAA, EASA, and TCCA Certifications Available
New Berlin, Wis., USA (March 21, 2014) –Introduced in 2012, EMTEQ’s eConnect system has been successfully installed on over nine platforms ranging from very light jets and large business jets– including Legacy 600, Global XRS, CRJ-200 aircraft – to narrow-body airliners including Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft.
“EMTEQ’s eConnect system fills a gap in the market for customers that want short downtimes and low cost HD upgrades,” shared Kariann Thon, EMTEQ’s Corporate Business Development Manager. “Customers are responding very positively to the flexibility of our system.”
eConnect’s suite of solutions provides many flexible options for installation including EASYHD™ by eConnect and Connectivity by eConnectin as little as 2-6 weeks.
EASYHD™ by eConnect brings high definition to the aircraft through a cost effective upgrade integrating into the existing system or through adding new equipment. It provides wireless control through personal electronic devices including wirelessAVOD options.
Connectivity by eConnect is a wireless router allowing access to the aircraft’s SATCOM system throughout the cabin with advanced business applications and software for increased throughput and decreased data costs.
In addition to aftermarket EASYHD and Connectivity upgrades for business aircraft, eConnect has been installed as a lighting controller on multiple airliners, and is the selected CMS/IFE system for upcoming OEM production programs.
eConnect has received FAA, EASA, and TCCA certifications for installation on multiple platforms with several additional certifications pending. Certifications have been completed by EMTEQ’s engineering & certification teams, as well as by third parties installing the system.
