EMS Satcom unveils its lightest eNfusion antenna

EMS Satcom on Monday rolled out the latest and lightest in its line of eNfusion high-gain antennas (HGA) for airborne satellite communications, the AMT-700, weighing less than five pounds. The antenna features higher gain (greater than 13.5dB), lower power consumption and a smaller installation footprint than its AMT-50 predecessor.

John Broughton, vice president of product development, said the AMT-700 “builds on more than 15 years’ experience and millions of flight hours of the AMT-50 HGA. It incorporates several new technological advances initially brought to market in our AMT-3800 phased-array product.” The mechanically steered, tail-mounted AMT-700 is designed to get the most out of Inmarsat’s SwiftBroadband service, Broughton added. He called it well suited for “smaller aircraft,” including the Cessna Citation Columbus and Embraer Legacy.
