AviIT is annouced that Bluebox Avionics Ltd. (in which AviIT is a 50 percent owner together with Phantom Media) has won its first customer for the Bluebox wireless controlled, semi-embedded AVOD system with a VIP jet client in the United States. The system will be incorporated into a brand new Boeing BBJ being fitted out by cabin installation specialist Greenpoint Technologies, based in Seattle. Under the contract, the Bluebox units will be installed into seat arm mounts and can be removed by passengers and placed on the tray tables if desired with seat power being available for unlimited usage time. Delivering the latest generation DRM compliant content, the system utilizes the same hardware platform as the innovative Bluebox lite portable unit but configured for full control via a crew management terminal, with all control functions being via an
Ethernet 802.11 wireless system.
As part of the system, cabin PA, pause, forced playback and system disable functionality will be available together with live, streamed mapping information from a Rockwell Collins Airshow system.
