EMS Technologies (Booth 5229) disclosed on Tuesday that its EMS AMT-50 Aero High-Gain Antenna has been selected by Dassault Falcon for the first satcom installation on a Falcon 7X, Dassault's next generation three-engine business jet. In making the announcement, EMS Satcom's vp and general manager Dr. Neil Mackay said, "The AMT-50 antenna's design was initially perceived as radically different from those available at the time, but a very light, efficient and reliable aviation solution for all of our customers."
Indeed, the AMT-50 has been popular with operators of Inmarsat Aero H/H+ and Swift64 voice and high-speed data avionics. Over 1,000 AMT-50 antennas have been installed since 1995 on a wide variety of corporate and military aircraft, including the Falcon 50, 900, 2000 and 7X, the Bombardier Challenger and Global Express/Global 5000/XRS, Cessna's Citation X, the Boeing BBJ, and the Gulfstream 400/500. To date, some 215 AMT-50 antennas have been installed on Dassault business aircraft.
