ArMax: AI-Driven IFE System for the Future of Connected In-Flight Experience

To better understand how ArMax works, here's a breakdown of its operational architecture:

• Content Preparation & Syncing: Content is securely prepared and updated through ground-based servers. Using encrypted channels, data is uploaded via satellite or ATG (Air-to-Ground) connections to the aircraft.
• Centralized Onboard IFE Server: The core of the system is the onboard IFE server, equipped with high-capacity SSD/NVMe storage, ECC RAM, and GPU acceleration. This server manages real-time content delivery, caching, and user data processing under a Linux-based embedded OS.
• Connectivity Router & Network Distribution: A high-speed connectivity router integrates satellite or ground signals and distributes data internally across the cabin. Dual NICs ensure bandwidth optimization and redundancy.
• Passenger Access via Wi-Fi & Screens: The system connects to Wi-Fi 6 access points and seatback screens, allowing passengers to use their own devices or the provided touch-enabled HD displays for browsing, streaming, and services.
• Real-Time Interaction & AI Integration: Through embedded AI and system-wide analytics, ArMax adapts content, services, and recommendations in real time, optimizing based on passenger behavior, preferences, and system performance.

What We’ve Engineered:

• Seamless data flow between cloud and cabin via encrypted links
• GPU-accelerated content processing for 1080p/4K delivery
• Multilingual UI with airline branding customization
• Secure DRM layers and encrypted storage modules
• Modular structure allowing future service and hardware upgrades

What truly differentiates ArMax from other IFE systems is its dual focus on AI intelligence and an open Connected Partner Platform. The AI engine enables personalized content delivery, real-time decision making, and health monitoring of hardware components, allowing airlines to stay proactive instead of reactive.

Meanwhile, the Connected Partner Platform allows third-party applications—such as e-commerce, language learning, meditation, or food ordering—to integrate seamlessly. This modularity unlocks new monetization paths for airlines and a more diverse, enjoyable experience for passengers.

Whereas most legacy systems are locked into static, vendor-driven environments, ArMax offers a living ecosystem that evolves with airline goals and passenger expectations. It provides airlines a strong competitive edge in personalization, efficiency, and engagement.
