Rockwell Collins Showcase Passenger Experience Solutions at APEX 2017

Rockwell Collins are to showcase its latest cabin and connectivity solutions to enhance passenger experience on two stands at this years’ Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) expo held in Long Beach, California. This event will be the first that the company will feature both cabin connectivity and interior systems since it acquired B/E Aerospace earlier this year.

Attendees will enjoy demonstrations of both Rockwell Collins’ wireless connectivity solution and the latest cabin interior products that are promising to offer passengers and crew an enhanced in-flight experience.

Alexis Hickox, Rockwell Collins’ head of business development for Commercial Aircraft Cabin Solutions, said ‘Our goal at APEX is to help airlines see the innovative options available to them that deliver a better passenger experience while improving cabin crew productivity.’

Some of the products highlighted at APEX 2017 will include:

CabinConnect^TM – this connectivity solution offers passengers a high-speed aviation internet connection, allowing normal internet use, social networking, messaging and video streaming to personal devices, such as smartphones, tablets or laptops and gaming devices.
