Rockwell Collins (Booth U073) has introduced a series of high-definition cabin management and cabin entertainment systems (CES) upgrades for Gulfstream aircraft that were originally delivered with aircraft condition monitoring systems (ACMS) and Micronet systems. At the same time, the U.S.-based avionics company completed its first CES-to-Venue cabin upgrade on a Bombardier Global in Europe.
  
With the CES upgrades on the Gulfstreams, operators can convert their cabins to HD. Rockwell Collins offers upgrade packages that include simple maintenance of base systems for cabin control to the installation of Venue, the company’s CES-equipped cabin solution. 
  
In collaboration with Amac Aerospace, Rockwell Collins was also able to install Venue on a Bombardier Global to preserve the cabin components already on the aircraft. Venue has can adapt to new customer technologies as they appear on the market. 
  
When installed on any aircraft, Venue uses HD audiovisuals and cabin interfaces for a conference room-like experience, helping passengers conduct business while in flight.
