Provided by Astronics CSC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Astronics
Corporation, Astronics is now delivering production units that are a
combination of new and existing products, both standard off-the-shelf
and custom designs.
“We believe that being selected as a hardware solution partner for this
airline is a validation of the quality and innovation of our product
offerings. The airline relied on us to provide a significant portion of
the design, development, and manufacturing services to deliver their
solution on time and on budget,” said Michael Kuehn, President of
Astronics CSC. “Astronics offers the most complete and most widely
deployed set of IFEC hardware solutions available from a single vendor.”
The airline’s new IFEC system will feature Astronics CSC’s suite of
products and solutions that includes the Summit™ Line Content Servers,
CabinEdge™ Content Loaders, Cabin-ACe™ Wireless Access Points (WAPs),
and a custom passenger control unit (PCU). Together these products
enable the airline to offer on-board audio/video on-demand services that
provide for redundancy, self-healing capabilities, and modularity for
uninterrupted inflight performance.
Astronics has already completed flight worthiness testing and
certification work for both DO-160G retrofit STC installations and
linefit offerability. Astronics products fit seamlessly with the
airline’s existing inflight connectivity system.
