EMS Sky Connect

The revolutionary satellite communications interface from Sky Connect gives you fast access to satellite text messaging and voice calls with a bright alphanumeric display a multifunction control knob, and a standard 12-key telephone dial pad.

The MMU_II makes it a breeze to send standard company-specific messages, such as number of passengers, current fuel load, patient status, ETA, etc. Mini-forms can be presented for the crew to enter numbers or text to answer questions for dispatchers.

Dispatchers and operations centers can send standard, free-form, and variable answer text messages to the aircraft using the web-based Tracker-MAP application.

Numbers and text can be entered using the control knob, like a GPS receiver. Or the telephone dial pad can be used just like a text-messaging on a cell phone.

Making and receiving telephone calls in an aircraft has never been easier. Hundreds of phone numbers with names can be stored. Entries are found by simply by rotating the knob, then a quick tap on the knob initiates the call. By using the pre-stored number library, operators can limit outbound calls to mission purposes only (with the dial pad disabled for dialing phone numbers).

For ultimate flexibility, the 12-key telephone dial pad can be used to enter and dial any phone number in the world.

When combined with Sky Connect TRACKER, the world's first seamless polar-to-polar flight tracking system, the MMU-II provides the best full-feature aircraft management tool for all types of missions.

Greatly improved levels of operational efficiency, customer service, crew support, and aircraft monitoring are achievable when your fleet is equipped with Sky Connect TRACKER. Each TRACKER-equipped aircraft transmits real-time position reports via satellite to any authorized PC. This allows a constant awareness of the location and flight status of each aircraft in your fleet WITHOUT requiring any action by the pilot or dispatcher. Depending upon how TRACKER is installed and implemented, urgent and emergency conditions can be automatically sent to the TRACKER display map.

For complete access to the capabilities of the MMU, coupled with the position reporting of TRACKER, we recommend the use of Tracker-MAP, available on a subscription basis only to Sky Connect TRACKER operators. Tracker-MAP integrates the 2-way text messaging function; the map user can interact with each of the aircraft through an intuitive interface. For more information about the MAP, please click here.
