Of all the new products it is has on display at EBACE this year, New Berlin, Wisconsin-based Emteq (Booth 1557) expects the most buzz to be around its eConnect advancements. Since eConnect was introduced in the fourth quarter of 2011, Emteq has continued to update the cabin electronics control system, ensuring it not only will serve as a current top-line CMS/IFE system but can also adapt to future needs. Some of the newer features rolling out here at EBACE include an advanced acceleration and compression software integration, proprietary moving map and optimized personal electronic device (PED) interface.
The eConnect system has been extremely well received, said Emteq. Its most compelling asset is that it is a very flexible system that can provide full CMS, IFE (in flight entertainment) and wireless router capability in one line replaceable unit (LRU). The LRU is also scalable to accommodate the system needs of any particular aircraft, according to the company. Flexibility is also an asset of Emteq as a company, it maintains, with its ability to respond to the needs of customer and quickly implement solutions; especially compared to larger OEMs.
