I think the reference to Astronics has to do with the flexability designed into the system enabeling the DigEsystem to be retrofitted into aircraft with standard in-seat power from Astronics, KID-Systeme or Page Aerospace. Not necessarily a partnering with any of those companies but an ability to interface with the several providers of onboard aircraft power.
Another observation. The lack of news coming out of the Aircraft conference may have more to do with the contracting of Tracy DeCuir and less to do with all the other scenerio`s we`ve conceived. This sounds like Tracy`s launch of Wencor`s marketing campaign. I can understand now why he committed to Wencor even with his roots at IMS. He know something!
