Abstract

Since cabling is very complex and often causes reliability problems in aircrafts new approaches which base on wireless technologies are highly desired. In this paper an innovative communication system is proposed that uses the essential elements of the airframe for data transfer. The communication is based on the wireless standard for Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) and enables high data rates, which are required for the in-flight entertainment system as an example of use.
