Embodiment Construction

[0012] figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a broadband wireless distribution system 10 for wireless distribution of data within a mobile platform according to the present invention. The wireless distribution system 10 includes a server and switching system 14 that includes at least one central switch 18 and at least one audio / video server 22 in communication with the switch 18 . In addition, server and switching system 14 includes at least one audio / video (A / V) interface 24 in communication with switch 18, an off-board router 26 in communication with switch 18, and at least one off-board router 26 also in communication with switch 18. Cabin Services System (CSS) interface 30 . An off-board router 26 is used to provide an Internet communication link between a user on the mobile platform and at least one server system or computer-based device remote from the mobile platform. The CSS interface 30 provides access to control passenger reading lights, attendant call lights and a pu...

Abstract

A broadband wireless distribution network for a passenger cabin area of a mobile platform. The broadband wireless distribution network includes a plurality of wireless access points (WAPs) connected to a server and switching system and a plurality of wireless network interface circuits (NICs) strategically located about the passenger cabin. Additionally the broadband wireless distribution network includes a plurality of antennas connected to the WAPs such that at least one antenna is connected to each WAP. The antennas are capable of providing RF coverage patterns to specific overlapping areas within the passenger cabin, thereby allowing communication between each WAP and at least one NIC.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a mobile network for distributing data over the cabin area of ​​a mobile platform such as an airplane, bus, ship or train. More specifically, the present invention relates to a broadband wireless video, audio, data and control distribution system for the cockpit area of ​​a mobile platform. This broadband wireless distribution system is the data network backbone for distributing in-transit entertainment (ITE) functions to the cabin area. Background technique [0002] Current audio / video distribution systems for the cockpit area of ​​mobile platforms such as airplanes are heavy and bulky. Extensive seat-to-seat distributed wiring is prone to damage and failure, and must be completely removed and replaced any time the cabin is reconfigured. Even more wiring is required when audio / video coordination between multiple rows of seats is required, such as synchronizing headset audio with a video display on the backr...
