Chelton Satcom last month announced the signing of supplier contracts to provide high-speed-data equipment as customer options for the Embraer Legacy and Gulfstream G450/550.

For the Legacy, Chelton will make available its HSD-7000 high-speed-data system and HGA-7000 phased-array fuselage-mount antenna. The HSD-7000 system operates through Inmarsat’s Swift64 service and can be upgraded to SwiftBroadband, which will offer data rates of up to 432 kbps when it becomes operational in 2006. The HSD-7000 installation includes the fuselage-mounted HGA-7000 antenna, an SDU-7300 dual-channel Swift64 satellite data unit and a high-power amplifier.
