Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) and Latécoère Interconnection Systems have signed a partnership agreement to develop a new and unique In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) technology based on LiFi (Light Fidelity).
With the ACJ Smart LiFi Monitor, ACJ becomes the first and only aircraft manufacturer to offer the next generation of communication systems technology on-board a corporate aircraft.
The ACJ Smart LiFi Monitor offers a unique entertainment experience and was designed to be an easy plug and play solution. It is a multi-technology smart 4K monitor offering Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and LiFi connectivity. It will allow analog audio output, USBc ports as well as HDMI connections. Features include Audio Video On Demand (AVOD), casting, mirroring, web browser, live TV and its own integrated video conferencing.
According to ACJ, it is developing the ACJ Smart LiFi Monitor to make “our customers’ cabin experience unique and easily upscalable and with the same features as you would have at home”. This new technology will be available in retrofit and cabin outfitting before the end of the year.
