The Bombardier Aerospace G7500—one of the newest and most advanced corporate aircraft—is taking to the skies with AEM's LSA100 cabin PA amplifier on board.

Lufthansa Technik approached Anodyne Electronics Manufacturing Corp. (AEM) to design, develop, and qualify a unique cabin PA amplifier for use with their NICE in-flight entertainment (IFE) system. NICE is the industry standard in cabin management and in-flight entertainment for VIP and business aircraft. Built for simplicity, convenience, and pleasure, the system brings high-end technology to in-flight entertainment.

Bombardier Aerospace selected Lufthansa Technik to provide the IFE and cabin PA systems; in turn, Lufthansa Technik came to AEM as their supplier of choice.

"Although the project was, at times, very complex and trying due to constantly changing requirements, the final product is something we are all very proud of," said Tony Weller, AEM's director of sales and marketing. "Lufthansa Technik is a professional organization, one we're pleased and honoured to work with."

The LSA100-100 was developed for the corporate aircraft market but is also suitable for use in small commuter aircraft, and helicopter transport applications such as those supporting the off-shore oil and gas markets.

Easy to configure and install, AEM designed the LSA100 for new and re-fit applications. Their simple, yet smart, design interface includes beneficial features and capabilities that provide easy integration with the cockpit audio system, cabin briefer, in-flight entertainment system, and existing cabin speakers.
