China-based Haeco Private Jet Solutions (Stand 714) announced here at MEBA 2014 its recent partnership with U.S.-based Emteq, allowing Haeco to offer the latter’s eConnect portfolio of cabin management, inflight entertainment and connectivity products. Haeco will be involved in the integration and engineering of the systems for its cabin completion and refurbishment customers.
Haeco was recently contracted to engineer and integrate a system incorporating a Router by eConnect and Wireless IFE by eConnect for what the company says is the first Boeing Business Jet based in Asia. The installation will supplement the existing cabin management system as an add-on solution, providing an economical and quick upgrade path.
IFE by eConnect enables passengers to stream media to existing monitors on an aircraft or on their personal devices. Router by eConnect provides access to a satellite communication system with advanced compression and acceleration.

News and developments about everything that goes into the cabin of an aircraft, from floor coverings to headliners, with a special emphasis on in-flight entertainment, communications and other electronics for passengers. If it is in the cabin of an aircraft, it’s covered here.
