AVIATION / Commercial  //  broadband communications

In this conference center you will be pleasantly surprised to discover addresses and resources 

that offer a valuable array of services, products and information that reflect both the present

and future value of the wireless culture in aviation tradition.  For the most part, passenger airplanes during the past fifty years have served as an efficient platform for transporting people and cargo long distances within a short period of time.  Additional uses of course have included service as emergency systems in disaster relief,  the air component of a national defense triad, scientific research, land use surveys. and others, all of which have been important, yet also secondary to the primary service of the airplane as a key component of national commercial activity. 

The present underutilized telecommunications potential of the airplane system and supporting components is

 about to be harvested.  Poised to translate this potential into an inseparable  quality of our commercial and consumer  life are dozens of corporations and organizations.  A preview of this business/consumer transforming technology application may be found inside the Collins.Rockwell corporation. Your attention is drawn to the Collins designed  passenger IFE ™  (in-flight entertainment systems) and IFN™  (in-flight network) systems.  

Within five years it is not unreasonable to expect to see every commercial airplane turned into a 'SmartPlane', and every airplane seat into a 'SmartSeat'.  eFlight ™ ..."all sooner than you'd imagine."
