RAVE Aerospace will showcase its RAVE ecosystem for in-flight entertainment and connectivity at Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) in Hamburg from 14th to 16th April in hall 3, booth 3A10.
The company, which was previously known as Safran Passenger Innovations, says its RAVE ecosystem reflects a shift from standalone systems to a connected, continuously evolving platform approach. The system features onboard platform products, digital solutions and services that have been brought together into a unified offering. RAVE’s open platform architecture allows seamless integration of third-party applications, providing airlines the flexibility to scale, personalise and continuously enhance the passenger experience.
Matt Smith, CEO at RAVE Aerospace said: “We are very excited to present our RAVE ecosystem under our new brand at AIX. Our experience has made us one of the most accessible, agile, and effective digital IFEC brands. Now we want to create the world’s best unified travel experiences, because we believe that this empowers airlines, delights passengers, and unlocks measurable value for both.
“We will do so in collaboration with our customers and industry partners. And that’s why we are looking forward to AIX where the whole industry comes together.”
The company is introducing RAVE OS 2, the core of its next-generation onboard digital software platform which transitions from a closed system to an open platform architecture that enables greater flexibility, scalability, and continuous innovation onboard.
The platform, paired with the new Harmony user interface, delivers a consistent, modern, and flexible experience that can be deployed seamlessly across multiple hardware generations.
New digital products such as the Developer Suite which provides a comprehensive SDK with robust APIs, and the App Marketplace which creates a new model for onboard innovation, are also offered.
Ben Asmar, Vice President of Products and Strategy at RAVE Aerospace commented: “RAVE OS 2 is a fundamental shift in how in-flight technology is delivered. We’re moving away from closed, hardware-defined systems to an open, digital platform that evolves over time. That gives airlines the flexibility to innovate at their own pace, bring new capabilities onboard faster, and continuously improve the passenger experience.”
An AI-powered search and conversational interface, integrated directly into the Harmony user interface, will also be displayed at AIX which will result in passengers discovering content, accessing flight information and interacting with the system in a more natural and intuitive way.
In addition, RAVE Aerospace has shared at its Live Transcription and Translation concept has been named a finalist in the accessibility category of this year’s Crystal Cabin Awards, taking place in Hamburg on 14 April. The solution transcribes onboard announcements into text displayed on the seatback screen and translates them into the passenger’s selected language in real time.
