``But a central media server and wireless access point are in development to support the extra interactive functions - moving maps, gate information, news, weather, sport, pre-recorded TV programming, intranet - that APS/Wencor plans to introduce.

Time-sensitive content will be loaded to the media server on the ground by either a USB memory device or the PML’s wired high-speed port. The server will store the content and then distribute it wirelessly to all the eDVPs at the correct time. The media server could also act as a router for aircraft interfaces, offboard communications systems and all digEsystem cabin and maintenance functions.

Other planned enhancements include integration with inflight television, multiplayer games, broadband Internet connectivity - this would require the addition to the aircraft of a terrestrial or satellite air-to-ground communications system - and onboard public wireless

LAN.``
