Kontron Secures Fleet‑Wide IFE & Connectivity Contract with Leading European Leisure Airline
Kontron has secured a pivotal contract to provide state‑of‑the‑art integrated In‑Flight Entertainment and Connectivity (IFE & C) solutions to a leading European leisure and charter airline. The rollout will span the carrier’s entire fleet of over 100 Boeing aircraft, with installations slated for the busy 2020 spring and summer schedules.
At the core of the deployment are Kontron’s open‑architecture hardware components: the ACE Flight 4608 high‑performance avionics server, the Cab‑n‑Connect™ A100 Cabin Wireless Access Point (CWAP), and the ACE Flight Removable Storage Drives (RSSDs). A 2019 proof‑of‑concept validated these systems, demonstrating reliable, high‑throughput connectivity and seamless integration with airline operations.
These platforms empower the airline to offer passengers a rich array of wireless entertainment—streaming video‑on‑demand, live TV, interactive games—and the flexibility to introduce new applications that elevate the cabin experience.
Kontron will showcase its full suite of rugged, open‑architecture IFE & IFE C hardware, software, and services at the upcoming APEX Expo, underscoring its leadership in aviation connectivity.
