StoreBox™ and AirCloud™ team up to develop a game changing Wi-Fi Inflight Entertainment System
/EINPresswire.com/ Bellevue, Washington (September 17, 2012) - StoreBox Inflight and AirCloud, Inc. today announced that they will be collaborating as a team to offer a turnkey hardware and content entertainment system for commercial airlines. The Companies intend to introduce the new system at the upcoming annual, worldwide APEX Expo (Airline Passenger Experience Association) on September 17-20.
The total system utilizes the AirCloud™ Wi-Fi Entertainment System. According to Brad David, Co-founder and President, "It can provide a very broad menu of items for free or purchase; movies, music, games, books as well as a wide variety of shopping items for passengers to purchase all providing incremental income to the airline.
The companion, FAA approved IFE server and WAPs weigh less than 20 pounds, uses a server the size of approximately 2 MCU and the appropriate number of WAPs for the size of the cabin.
The Companies are developing a financing program to minimize an airline's initial capital outlay with a small fee on equipment installation, monthly payments and per flight fee for the frequently changing content and merchandising program. According to Web Barth, CEO, StoreBox InFlight, "We focused on developing a turnkey IFE system for a fraction of the cost of a conventional VOD seat back system."
The entertainment system recognizes the fact that more and more passengers (70%) are already carrying Wi-Fi enabled personal entertainment devices; laptops, smart/cell phones and rapidly growing numbers of tablets. The Companies are introducing the program at APEX as a turnkey solution for airlines, especially those who have never had inflight entertainment due to initial and ongoing costs, installation down time, fuel, weight penalty, space, or for small regional jets where IFE has never been practical, or for supplementing or replacing older, obsolete systems on all aircraft including wide bodies.
