Jet Aviation is all set to develop a fully customizable in-flight entertainment and cabin management software solution using Crestron technology. With this, Jet Aviation has certified an in-house system for use in VIP cabins.
The software is developed in-house by Jet Aviation’s engineering team in Basel and offers a customized interface to control all aspects of in-flight entertainment and cabin management, including lighting, cabin crew calls, audio, video, and custom functions. The system runs on hardware from Crestron Electronics, which has been certified for aircraft use by Jet Aviation.
Some of the features of the software are –
- system is completely customizable and scalable, both in design and functionality
- ability to tailor the software to work in any way a customer requires, from the very complex to the deceptively simple
- customers will have one point of contact for their cabin system
- any implementations or adaptations can be achieved efficiently and effortlessly, either at development or during long-term use
“Developing our own IFE and CMS system is a significant milestone in our commitment to innovation in service of the ultimate cabin experience,” says Florent Klinger, head of engineering at Jet Aviation.
The cabin configuration integrates fixed hardware components into crew and customer areas, alongside mobile tablet remote controls which can be used in any part of the cabin.
“We are delighted to partner with Crestron on this development,” says Fabian Fude, Senior Director of Procurement. “Crestron’s portfolio was a great match for the needs of our customers. The company is trusted around the world for residential and yachting technology solutions and offers secure, reliable hardware, easy availability of spare parts, strong service support, and simplified obsolescence management. By qualifying the Crestron system for aviation, our team has provided even more options for our customers for the installation and use of their IFE and CMS systems.”
The system is available for completion and refurbishment projects at Jet Aviation facilities.
