Toulouse, 17 May 2021  – Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) and Latécoère Interconnection Systems (LIS) have signed a partnership agreement to develop a new and unique In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) technology – “The ACJ Smart LiFi Monitor”. 

LiFi (Light Fidelity) is the latest wireless communication technology which uses light to transmit data. With this agreement, ACJ becomes the pioneer and only aircraft manufacturer to offer the next generation of communication systems technology on-board a corporate aircraft.

The ACJ Smart LiFi Monitor offers a unique entertainment experience and was designed  to be an easy plug and play solution. It is a multi-technology smart 4K monitor offering Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and  LiFi connectivity. It will allow analog audio output, USBc ports as well as HDMI connections.

This new technology will be available in retrofit and cabin outfitting before the end of the year.
