German holiday carrier Condor is going to become the first carrier in the world to offer wireless in-flight entertainment (IFE) to passengers, after reaching agreement to fit Boeing 767aircraft with LufthansaSystems' new BoardConnect solution.
BoardConnect is based on a Wi-Fi network which passengers can log on to through seat-back screens or their own laptops, tablet PCs, smartphones or other WiFi-enabled devices to access a range of video and audio on demand, games and other content.
The system is much easier to install than traditional IFE because there is no wiring and seat distribution units required, thereby reducing the number of line replaceable units (LRUs). Furthermore, the system can be integrated during a regular maintenance check, so there's no need for extra time for maintenance.
