Wencor`s digEsystem`s architecture is flexible, scalable and uses innovative system and component design techniques. The lightweight solution eliminates the complex and heavy equipment needed for traditional IFE systems and makes it easier to maintain and certify. The system supports a wireless network reducing installation complexity costs and improves reliability. The integrated IFE system will be offered as a certified option on the Spectrum economy class seat.
``According to industry veteran Tracy DeCuir``
``In a basic installation, each eDVP would hold its content on a 60Gb hard disc, so that no head-end equipment is needed.``
``In a typical installation, the aircraft will have a docking station in each seatback, allowing the airline to fine-tune its IFE provision by installing eDVPs in any seat, zone or cabin, on the ground or in flight. Airline staff will be able to add or remove the eDVP in less than a minute, using a simple security installation tool that will be small enough to fit on a key-ring but complex enough to discourage theft. A quick-disconnect system will allow cabin crew to easily remove and replace defective units in flight.``
That installation tool and simplistic idea... will be a big win for Wencor
