Lumexis Begins Demonstration Tour With New Fiber-To-The-Seat ™ IFE System

Los Angeles, February 20, 2006 - Lumexis Corporation has begun a worldwide demonstration tour with its new FTTSTM (Fiber-To-The-SeatTM) In-Flight Entertainment system. The result of nearly three years of work springing from proprietary aerospace optics technologies, the system provides unprecedented Gibabit-per-second bandwidth to each passenger screen. Installed without any electronic boxes under the seat or elsewhere in the cabin, this unique product promises entertainment options which have never before been possible, yet at a fraction of the weight and price of existing systems.

The company is headed by two senior managers both well-known to the airline entertainment industry – J. Douglas Cline, former president of Sony Trans Com, now Lumexis’ CEO, and Richard J. Salter, co-founder of AirShow, now CTO of this company.

“The tremendous bandwidth provided by military-proven fiber optics allows us to offer entertainment options never before envisioned,” promises Doug Cline. “FTTSTM begins with Audio-Video-On-Demand as its baseline entertainment product, yet offers unlimited potential for much more demanding entertainment and business applications like full action video-conferencing, seat-to-seat or seat-to-ground.”

Rich Salter adds “This fiber optic installation will absolutely future-proof an airplane’s cabin for decades to come. The network, which has no active components between the server and the seat (and no seat box), is inherently vastly more reliable than existing systems.”

The Lumexis Team is looking forward to continuing to demonstrate their product offering to airlines. “We have been patiently working and evolving this product by talking with airlines and installers for several years prior to coming to market,” Cline notes. “We are gratified to be out with potential airline customers and anticipate continued positive feedback.”
