It would seem plausible, and I am guessing that EDIG could sell its wireless embedded system to a company like Thales, for example, who in turn has the logistics capability and clout to implement the new product into Boeing's package offerings to its airline customers.
Apparently Boeing shows its customers embedded IFE products and customers then choose. I suspect that it comes down to functionality and costs. I sure don't see EDIG having the means to go it alone.
Blakeley continued, “While we intend to grow our portable IFE business in 2008, we have been encouraged by major airline and aircraft companies to apply our core technology to a simple, lightweight, flexible embedded solution providing individualized on-demand entertainment. An embedded eVU system would offer substantial product and weight/fuel cost savings and open the door to fleet-size eVU orders. We have initiated the design and adaptation of our eVU technology into an embedded system and look forward to reporting more on this important business development.”
