Why the peripheral bar is Astrova&) 100vw, 1024px" />

Plus, the peripheral bar can be upgraded and changed on-wing in two minutes flat, without having to remove the monitor itself. No one else in the airline industry offers that kind of fast, easy upgrading capability.

It’s this approach to modularity that allows Astrova to be 30% lighter than earlier IFE systems, itself a cost savings to you when it comes to weight reduction and lowering carbon emissions.

Right now, Astrova’s default peripheral bar comes with two USB-C power outlets, offering up to 100W of power — enough to fast-charge a laptop from zero to 85% within an hour. It also features Bluetooth and spatial 3D audio to the seatback system, once and for all doing away with the tin-can effect.

But the beauty of its design is that it can be continually updated over the length of an aircraft’s lifespan while minimizing down time, as well as labor and equipment costs. This equips your airline with the ability to stay on top of wider technology trends, giving you high market relevance and giving your customers the latest, most natural passenger experience available.

Not only does that reduce total cost of ownership, but it also empowers you to break down your IFEC investments into more affordable, bite-size pieces over time.
