and/or members of his family are beneficial owners of an aggregate of 29,176 shares of the

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Bylaws of the Company provide that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers, and
persons serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against all expenses, judgments and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by any such person in connection with
threatened or actual actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, to which such person becomes subject by having served in such role. Such
indemnification shall be made if such person acted in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or
upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, will not, of itself, create a presumption that
such person did not so act and did not have such reasonable cause to believe. With respect to
actions by or on behalf of the Company, the foregoing indemnification pursuant to the Bylaws shall
not be paid for judgments or amounts paid in settlement, but shall be paid for expenses; however,
except as discussed below, no indemnification will be made for any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person has been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of
his or her duty to the Company, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction
determines upon application that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company will indemnify the persons discussed in the immediately preceding paragraph if (a)&nbsp;the
Company&#146;s Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">consisting of directors who are not parties to the action, suit or proceeding, (b)&nbsp;if such a quorum
is not obtainable, a committee, consisting of two or more directors who are not parties to the
action, suit or proceeding designated by the Board of Directors (in which designation interested
directors may participate), by a majority vote, or (c)&nbsp;special legal counsel selected as required
by law, determine that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the person has met
the applicable standard of conduct discussed in the immediately preceding paragraph. However,
expenses shall be paid by the Company as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition
of the relevant case, upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or officer to repay such
amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified.
Independent of these indemnification provisions contained in the Bylaws, the Georgia Business
Corporation Code provides a statutory right to indemnification from the Company to a director or
officer who is successful in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party because he is a
director or officer of the Company.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In addition to the foregoing indemnification provisions, the Bylaws authorize further
indemnification of directors and officers. Pursuant to this provision, the Company is a party to
Indemnification Agreements that provide substantially broader indemnity rights than those described
above. Among other things, these Agreements provide for indemnification in respect of judgments in
actions by or on behalf of the Company, and do not require, as a condition of indemnification,
independent determinations that the individual met the specified standards of conduct. However,
under the Agreements and applicable Georgia law, no indemnification may be paid: (i)&nbsp;if it is
determined that the individual&#146;s conduct constituted intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing
violation of the law, or an appropriation, in violation of his or her duties, of any business
opportunity of the Company; (ii)&nbsp;with respect to liability for distributions to shareholders in
excess of amounts legally available for such distributions; or (iii)&nbsp;with respect to any
transaction from which he or she received an improper personal benefit.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company maintains directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance policies covering certain losses
arising from claims made against them by reason of wrongful acts (with certain exceptions)
committed by them in their capacities as directors and officers. The insurers&#146; aggregate limit of
liability under the policies is $20&nbsp;million per policy year. The Company also maintains a separate
liability insurance policy for its non-employee directors, under which the insurer&#146;s limit of
liability is $20&nbsp;million.

    <TD>Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
provisions described in Item&nbsp;6, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</TD>

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference
The following documents heretofore filed by EMS Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")
are hereby incorporated herein by reference:
(1) The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007.
(2) The Company's Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March
31, June 30 and September 29, 2007 as amended.
(3) The description of the Common Stock offered hereby contained
in the Company's Registration Statement for the Common Stock on
Form 8-A, as amended April 12, 1999, under the Securities Exchange
Act.
In addition, all documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act subsequent to the date hereof and prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold, or which deregisters all
securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in the
registration statement and to be a part thereof from the respective date of filing of each such
document.
Item 4. Description of Securities
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
William S. Jacobs, Senior Legal Adviser to the Registrant, who has given his opinion as to the
validity of the securities hereby registered, is an officer and employee of the Registrant, and he
and/or members of his family are beneficial owners of an aggregate of 29,176 shares of the
Registrant's outstanding common stock. Mr. Jacobs also holds options to acquire 21,500 additional
shares (of which options for 17,225 shares currently may be exercised).
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Bylaws of the Company provide that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers, and
persons serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against all expenses, judgments and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by any such person in connection with
threatened or actual actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, to which such person becomes subject by having served in such role. Such
indemnification shall be made if such person acted in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or
upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, will not, of itself, create a presumption that
such person did not so act and did not have such reasonable cause to believe. With respect to
actions by or on behalf of the Company, the foregoing indemnification pursuant to the Bylaws shall
not be paid for judgments or amounts paid in settlement, but shall be paid for expenses; however,
except as discussed below, no indemnification will be made for any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person has been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of
his or her duty to the Company, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction
determines upon application that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity.
The Company will indemnify the persons discussed in the immediately preceding paragraph if (a) the
Company's Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who are not parties to the action, suit or proceeding, (b) if such a quorum
is not obtainable, a committee, consisting of two or more directors who are not parties to the
action, suit or proceeding designated by the Board of Directors (in which designation interested
directors may participate), by a majority vote, or (c) special legal counsel selected as required
by law, determine that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the person has met
the applicable standard of conduct discussed in the immediately preceding paragraph. However,
expenses shall be paid by the Company as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition
of the relevant case, upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or officer to repay such
amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified.
Independent of these indemnification provisions contained in the Bylaws, the Georgia Business
Corporation Code provides a statutory right to indemnification from the Company to a director or
officer who is successful in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party because he is a
director or officer of the Company.
In addition to the foregoing indemnification provisions, the Bylaws authorize further
indemnification of directors and officers. Pursuant to this provision, the Company is a party to
Indemnification Agreements that provide substantially broader indemnity rights than those described
above. Among other things, these Agreements provide for indemnification in respect of judgments in
actions by or on behalf of the Company, and do not require, as a condition of indemnification,
independent determinations that the individual met the specified standards of conduct. However,
under the Agreements and applicable Georgia law, no indemnification may be paid: (i) if it is
determined that the individual's conduct constituted intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing
violation of the law, or an appropriation, in violation of his or her duties, of any business
opportunity of the Company; (ii) with respect to liability for distributions to shareholders in
excess of amounts legally available for such distributions; or (iii) with respect to any
transaction from which he or she received an improper personal benefit.
The Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance policies covering certain losses
arising from claims made against them by reason of wrongful acts (with certain exceptions)
committed by them in their capacities as directors and officers. The insurers' aggregate limit of
liability under the policies is $20 million per policy year. The Company also maintains a separate
liability insurance policy for its non-employee directors, under which the insurer's limit of
liability is $20 million.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The following documents are filed as exhibits to this Registration Statement:
4.1 Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the
Registrant, effective March 22, 1999
(incorporated by reference to Exhibit 3.1 to the Registrant's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 3,
2004).
4.2 Bylaws of the Registrant, as amended through November 2, 2007
(incorporated by reference to Exhibit 3.2 to the Registrant's
Report on Form 8-K dated November 2, 2007).
4.3 EMS Technologies, Inc. Stockholder Rights Plan dated as of
April 6, 1999 (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 4.1 to the
Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A Amendment No. 1 for the
year ended December 31, 2004).
5.1 Opinion of William S. Jacobs, Senior Legal Adviser to the
Registrant, as to the legality of the securities being registered.
23.1 Consent of KPMG LLP
23.2 Consent of William S. Jacobs (appears in his opinion filed as
Exhibit 5.1).
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement;
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in the registration statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual reports pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(h)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
provisions described in Item 6, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to
the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all
of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Norcross, State of Georgia,
on November 27, 2007.
