Lumexis Has New High-Bandwidth IFE Delivery Product

Lumexis Corporation has a new fiber-to-the-seat (FTTS) IFE (inflight entertainment system) delivery system that provides gigabit-per-second bandwidth, and can be installed without any electronic boxes under the seat or elsewhere in the cabin.

Lumexis believes FTTS should offer entertainment options which have never before been possible, yet at a fraction of the weight and price of existing systems.

J. Douglas Cline, the former president of Sony Trans Com, and now Lumexis' CEO, says FTTS will begin with AVOD (audio-video-on-demand) as its baseline product, but has potential for business applications like full action video-conferencing, seat-to-seat or seat-to-ground.  03-02-2006.
