EMS Aviation is offering its Forté AirMail for a wide range of corporate aircraft. The FAA STC-approved, Iridium-based system provides worldwide Wi-Fi e-mail capability in flight using common Wi-Fi devices such as smartphones (BlackBerry and iPhone) and Wi-Fi-enabled personal digital assistants. The company has approval for the Bombardier Challenger 600/601/604, Global Express (not the XRS or 5000) and CRJ850; Dassault Falcon 50, 50EX, 900, 900EX, 2000, 2000EX; and Gulfstream V and GV-SP.

“The unit system price is just shy of $35,000 and would include an airmail Wi-Fi router, Iridium transceiver and one of three antenna devices,” Iain Ronis, an EMS account manager, told AIN. The choices of antenna include a single element designed to support the system alone, a dual element to support the EMS system and another Iridium-based system, or a diplexer that allows the AirMail Iridium transceiver to use an existing Iridium antenna already installed to support another system.
