Thales pushes the big 'C' in connectivity

摘要

Thales unveiled at Aircraft Interiors its new face for in-flight entertainment and connectivity, Thales Inflyt Experience - the result of a rebranding and repositioning process kicked off by its 2014 acquisition of Live TV. Chief executive Dominique Gi-annoni says the Live TV deal helped cement the company's position as a player in the connectivity segment: "It is no longer IFE with a small 'c' on the end - we have a more balanced portfolio." Giannoni stresses that the revamped company is focused on passengers and airlines, and built on three technology pillars: the Avant touchscreen IFE system, FlytLive's broadband and connectivity services and maintenance and repair organisation FlytCare.
