TAG Aviation Farnborough Maintenance Services Completes First Global Express High Definition Cabin Management System Upgrade
Farnborough, 14th October 2015 - TAG Aviation Farnborough Maintenance Services is pleased to announce the completion of its first Global Express Aircraft project with Rockwell Collins’ Venue™ cabin management and entertainment system upgrade installation.
This state-of-the-art, high definition (HD) cabin system brings a whole new standard for cabin entertainment technology and connectivity, integrating in-flight entertainment and business capabilities into one easy-to-use system.
Adapted from the latest in-consumer technologies, and emulating the home electronics experience through HD intuitive interfaces via touch-screen controls and Wi-Fi, Venue delivers unsurpassed content options including Audio and Video On Demand (AVOD), an interactive Airshow® moving map accessible to all passengers, plus 16:9 displays, software programmable switch panels and access to iTunes and the App store.
“As consumer technologies advance so rapidly, existing systems are fast becoming obsolete as their technology has become dated” said Stuart Kirkwood, Sales Director for TAG Aviation Farnborough Maintenance Services. “Our Maintenance Services’ team at Farnborough is impressed with this first installation result and with a growing demand for future generation CMS system upgrades, we can now support customers who want to add value and airborne enhancements to their aircraft with this fully-supported and exciting upgrade.”
"The aircraft owner is absolutely delighted with the Venue installation” said Paul Burke of PB Engineering Solutions Ltd, the customer’s onsite technical representative. “It has provided greatly increased flexibility in the cabin, with functionality for audio, video, LED lighting, temperature control and window shades now readily available via cabin controllers or iPads. The introduction of cinematic sound along with AVOD, multiple source options and multiple cabin zones to HD monitors and iPads has vastly improved the experience for the Principle.”
“Performing this upgrade at the same time as our 180 Month major maintenance event made perfect sense as most of the interior had to be removed for the inspection which has made this modification far easier to achieve. We also took the opportunity to perform some much needed work on the soft furnishings as well as some refurbishment of the hard furnishings and finishes. TAG Aviation Farnborough Maintenance Services project managed the refurbishment from the outset, taking responsibility for bringing the various partners together. Their planned approach when faced with a number of difficulties brought the project together smoothly and efficiently. "
For customers interested in learning more about Venue and its easy-to-use menu driven capability, as well as the various upgrade options, TAG Aviation Farnborough Maintenance Services, in association with experts from Rockwell Collins, will be presenting a series of informal demonstrations of the Venue HD Cabin Management System at TAG Airport Terminal Building reception lounge on Monday 19th October (from 1300hrs) to Wednesday 21st October (to 1200hrs). Anyone interested in attending a demonstration or requires further information can contact Stuart Kirkwood, Sales Director, at TAG Aviation Farnborough Maintenance Services on Email: [email protected] or Telephone: + 44 7557 569779.
