Satcom Direct has entered into a dealership agreement with EMTEQ, soon to be B/E Aerospace, that enables customers to choose EMTEQ’s eConnect Suite of Solutions™ from Satcom Direct’s product portfolio. At this year’s Middle East Business Aviation (MEBA) conference, the Satcom Direct team will be showcasing the value of integrating the Satcom Direct Router (SDR™) with the eConnect Suite of Solutions.
The SDR provides reliable, secure, global connectivity for executive and head of state aircraft enabling telephone communications, video streaming and internet access. The eConnect Suite of Solutions’ options include Cabin Control by eConnect™ and Wireless IFE by eConnect™. With the integration of the SDR and these options from the eConnect Suite of Solutions, passengers can wirelessly stream their favourite media to their personal device or cabin monitors, upgrade to high definition, and control the cabin environment. This reduces complexity and provides a consistent user experience for all devices on board. It is anticipated that the integrated approach of both the eConnect Suite of Solutions and the SDR will prove popular with clients who place a high value on state-of-the-art connectivity, communication, and cabin management systems.
“The SDR integrated with the eConnect Suite of Solutions allows owners or operators to fulfill all their cabin management, telephone connectivity, internet, and entertainment needs, providing an excellent value proposition for our customers,” says Chris Moore, chief commercial officer of Satcom Direct International. “We have a growing number of VVIP customers in the Middle Eastern region who value the technology and equally appreciate both companies’ high levels of customer service, responsiveness to individual requests, and specialised support.”
Satcom Direct is also developing training courses in conjunction with the new joint offering to ensure cabin crew can maximise the potential of the product on board the aircraft. These will be available to all aircraft operators and owners wishing to install the integrated solution.
