SmartJog Assists IFE Services To Bring World Cup Matches To LAN Airlines In A Record Time
July 26, 2010 - LAN Airlines passengers enjoyed watching highlights of the latest 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa matches on board each week thanks to IFE Services. IFE Services used SmartJog ‘s electronic delivery service to send content between offices and to the integration service provider. IFE Services UK edited the programs and then transferred the files using SmartJog to their US office for encoding and then to the integrator.
“This is a fantastic project with a very fast turn-around,” said Victor Hernandez, Executive Vice President of Technical Operations of IFE Services USA. “With SmartJog’s robust digital delivery service and the ability to prioritize deliveries, we were able to bring the matches on board just days after their live broadcast.”
“Bringing new premium content to the passengers each week is now a reality. We expect a huge demand for fast and secure digital delivery of content this year and are proud to be the trusted partner of an innovative company like IFE Services,” adds Christiane Ducasse, Director of Sales at SmartJog USA.
Both companies are exhibiting at the WAEA-APEX conference in Long Beach in September.
The line has blurred between Inflight entertainment (IFE) and Inflight connectivity (IFC). Inflight Internet will soon be as ubiquitous to fliers as Sky Mall and carriers will be integrating it with their own IFE systems for passengers to buy movies, stream music and order snacks - all at the click of a button.”
