Waukegan, ILL. | April 21, 2015– Telefonix, Inc.®, an AS9100 and ISO 14000-certified technology design and manufacturing company, is a proud sponsor of the 2015 In-Flight Connectivity Technology Conference (ICT2015) April 22-23 in Shanghai, China at the New World Shanghai Hotel. This announcement comes on the heels of the official launch of Telefonix’s Summit product line of in-flight entertainment and connectivity (IFEC) equipment at the 2015 Aircraft Interiors Expo last week in Hamburg, Germany.
This third ICT event aims to promote the establishment of the inflight wifi industrial supply chain and develop cross-border cooperation for the purpose of building a win-win ecosystem. As passenger demands grow, and upstream and downstream enterprises of the supply chain develop, industry experts believe the domestic aviation internet industry will enter a period of rapid growth. It is believed the scale of the entire aviation internet industry will exceed one hundred billion and will realize an average annual growth rate of 30 percent over the next five years.
Michael Kuehn, Telefonix President, will deliver a presentation on “Game Changing Technology”.
“We are working to advance the In-Flight Entertainment and Connectivity (IFEC) movement every day at Telefonix,” says Kuehn. “We are working with customers now on custom technologies to deliver on these needs. We’ve also developed the Telefonix Summit product line, which consists of a number of building blocks required for any IFEC solution in the aerospace market, reducing time-to-market and overall cost for system developers, integrators and airline operator alike.”
