EMS Satcom’s eNfusion SwiftBroadband communications system has been subject to more than 300 hours of trials aboard two Boeing Business Jets, and Rockwell Collins has selected the vendor to develop a satcom system for the Boeing 747-8.

Passengers on the two BBJs have been using the system for advanced tests of Inmarsat’s early entry SwiftBroadband service on flights to and from cities in the United States, Europe and the Caribbean since early this year. The system has demonstrated its ability to support 10 simultaneous users surfing the Web, using e-mail and carrying out file transfers with an average speed of 200 to 300 kbps.
