Lumexis Signs Agreement with EMS Formation for In-flight Entertainment Servers
PALM SPRINGS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EMS Technologies, Inc. announced today at the World Airline Entertainment Association (WAEA) Conference and Exhibition that Lumexis Corporation has selected the company’s EMS Formation business unit to design and manufacture the optical video/application server for the Lumexis™ FTTS™ (Fiber-To-The-Screen™) in-flight entertainment (IFE) system. FTTS™ is planned to be the lightest weight, most reliable, lowest cost VOD In-Flight Entertainment system on the market.
“We selected Formation to design and manufacture the Server Switch Unit (SSU) optical video server,” said Rich Salter, Lumexis’ chief technical officer, “because their server technology will maximize reliability and performance while minimizing product life-cycle costs.”
The Lumexis and EMS Formation engineering collaboration has resulted in the SSU, a four-MCU multi-processor server integrated with terabytes of ToughDisk® solid state disks. Each SSU delivers personalized audio, video-on-demand, and other data to more than 150 passengers.
“I’m very pleased that Formation has been selected to provide the SSU for this high-profile IFE program,” says R. Nim Evatt, EMS Formation’s vice president and general manager.
