Bluetooth Attachment to In-Flight Entertainment Systems

[Category : - ELECTRONICS]
[Viewed 796 times]

No current inflight entertainment systems offer built-in Bluetooth. It is expensive and infrequent for the airlines to replace entertainment systems. A simple add-on to the current systems would be an optimal transition to the Bluetooth age of audio. This Bluetooth attachment to in-place in-flight entertainment systems allows for the existing system to maintain existing functionality including the audio and power ports.

Audio and power are sent from the existing system to provide power and audio input to the Bluetooth transmitter. The audio and power are split so that they are also sent to female audio and power ports for passengers to use in the same way in flight entertainment systems are currently designed. The curved design minimizes friction and allows the device to be adhesively attached to the existing system. The device does not need to be externally charged and cannot be easily removed.


Financial information

The wireless headphone market is growing quickly due to advancements, such as Bluetooth, infrared, and Wi-Fi. A number of start ups and well established companies, such as Apple, Samsung Electronics, Bose Corporation, and Sony Corporation, are focusing on developing innovative products. Wired headphones currently hold 59% of the total headphone market share, with the other 41% corresponding to wireless headphones. Wireless headphones expected to make up a majority of the market share by the end of 2020. Bluetooth audio device shipments are expected to grow at a 7% Compound Annual Growth Rate from 2018 2023, resulting in 1.27 billion devices shipped in 2023.

With over 7,000 aircraft and 1.3 million seatbacks, the US market alone is large enough to justify investment in a viable Bluetooth solution for in flight entertainment.

Many airlines are pushing to improve in-flight service offerings. To provide the best experience for passengers, airlines need to ensure inflight entertainment systems are up-to-date with the latest technology, which now includes Bluetooth capability.
