RENO, Nev. and OTTAWA, March 29, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- EMS SATCOM, a division of EMS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:ELMG), reported at the Aircraft Electronics Association Convention and Trade Show today the addition of a new CNX-300 Mobile Access Router to its CNX(r) Cabin Gateway Series of airborne networking devices. The new product is designed specifically to address military and government requirements.
The CNX-300 Mobile Access Router (MAR) combines all the functionality of the Cabin Gateway product line including Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Hub and Terminal Adapter with the Cisco 3200 Series router. This router addresses key communications challenges faced by airborne users when access to information is critical regardless of aircraft movement or location. The CNX-300 product is built to operate on the Inmarsat Swift64 and future SwiftBroadband networks, and is expected to provide the following advantages:
* Secure data, voice, and video communications where dynamic routing, VPN tunnels and AES encryption are required; * Seamless mobility and network interoperability; and * Advanced IP services using Cisco(r) IOS Software.
"Adding the 3200 Series Router to our already capable CNX product line allows us to address the complex network-centric mobility needs of our government and military customers," says EMS SATCOM Vice President of Government and Military Sales Stephen Newell. "The advanced security features and standards-based IP technology of the MAR address our customers' ever-growing demands for mission-critical communications solutions."
