"More and more customers are asking, aWhy should I leave my e-mail behind when I fly?a™ and now they dona™t have to"
The EMS Fort© AirMail system is an Iridium-based system that enables pilots and passengers to send and receive e-mail at any altitude using various Wi-Fi devices, including the BlackBerry® and iPhone® smart-phones, and Wi-Fi-enabled personal digital assistants.

- Bombardier Challenger CL-600/CL-601/CL-604
- Bombardier Global Express (not the XRS or 5000)
- Bombardier CRJ 850
- Dassault Falcon 50, 50EX, 900, 900EX, 2000, 2000EX
- Gulfstream G-V and G-VSP
aMore and more customers are asking, aWhy should I leave my e-mail behind when I fly?a™ and now they dona™t have to,a said Nim Evatt, vice president and general manager of EMS Aviation. aEMSa™s Fort© AirMail solution is ideal for those who dona™t need a full-blown Satcom system but wish to continue doing business via e-mail. It offers e-mail connectivity more affordably than other systems available on the market today.a
How the Fort© AirMail System Works
A Fort© AirMail Wi-Fi access point installed in the aircraft cabin transfers e-mail via the Iridium transceiver and antenna system installed for cockpit use. The access point provides connectivity throughout the cabin, allowing multiple users to simultaneously access e-mail. The system is available worldwide through EMS Aviationa™s dealers. Pricing is available by calling 1-877-821-8429.
In addition, Fort© AirMail system users can add in-flight phone capabilities to their aircraft with the Fort© phone system. It offers high-quality voice communication, with a variety of dialing options, including compact wireless handsets, integrated cockpit headset dialers and standard corded handsets featuring superior noise cancellation and audio clarity. All Fort© systems support e-mail and phone capabilities from ramp parking to cruising altitudes.
