Head of IT Commercial Systems
PXCom is a disruptive company that breaks boundaries of classic IFE systems and connectivity portals. A win win I would say.
Condor contracted PXCom to be provided with a fully customized inflight connectivity portal aimed at being integrated into both their Long Haul IFC platform and Short & Medium Haul IFC platform. One single back bone had to be considered : Airbus Airspace Link (OSP – KID SYSTEME). Two different connectivity providers : Inmarsat & Intelsat. In addition, Condor expected to own the software IP.
Based on its PXFly open platform, and on Condor designs, PXCom adapted its backend component, and developed most the front end modules in full sync with Condor’s IT team. In addition, a bunch of APIs have been implemented to deliver D+1 content update such as Digital Press, Condor Blog…without consuming the satellite bandwidth.
Condor now manages two different portals (one for the wide body aircraft, one for the single aisle) from a single cloud based back office. In addition, PXCom’ cutting edge technology enables condor ultra-flexibility both on the GUI and content management. Condor also can monitor in near-real time the status of the ALNA servers.
