MAXjet, Aeroflot and Kenya Airways Choose DigEcor Portable IFE Players

MAXjet, Aeroflot and Kenya Airways have chosen digEcor portable IFE (in flight equipment).  MAXjet started using the digEplayer on their international flights in late December, and Aeroflot and Kenya, will put them on selected flights starting this month.

According to digEcor, its digEplayer 5500 is the world's first self-contained, hand-held portable VOD (video on demand) entertainment unit. The system is typically preprogrammed with movies, television shows, cartoons, videos, music, as well as airline destination information, promotions and advertising.  Each unit is about the same size and weight as a portable DVD (digital versatile disc) player with a 40 (or larger) gigabyte hard drive, and over ten hours of battery life.

Brent Wood, digEcor's CEO, said the latest orders from Aeroflot and Kenya will double the number of units they will own, and will make Aeroflot the largest user of digEplayers in the world, second only to Alaska Airlines.  01-06-2007.
