WIRELESS DISTRIBUTION OF AIRCRAFT DATA AND/OR AVIONICS PARAMETERS AND/OR CONTROL COMMANDS BETWEEN A STANDARDIZED AIRCRAFT INTERFACE POINT AND OTHER SYSTEMS, E.G., PASSENGER ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS

摘要

A system for wireless distribution of aircraft data, avionics parameters or control commands between a standardized aircraft interface point and other systems, including a portable in-flight entertainment (IFE) server. The system comprises an aircraft data system with avionics buses for carrying at least one of aircraft data, avionics parameters or control commands. A first module is configured to directly interface with the avionics buses, in order to read/write data. A second module is configured to combine/adapt the data and generate signals of the combined/adapted data. A third module is configured to transmit the signals from the second module via wireless standard protocols towards the portable IFE server. The IFE server is configured to receive the signals from the third module.
