Rosen Aviation, a specialist in inflight entertainment (IFE) and aircraft cabin electronics, has launched what it says is the world’s first operator-designed Cabin Management System.
The focus of the system, named Celestia, is on reliability and redundancy, making use of a distributed network and secondary ethernet backbone to increase system efficiency and component health monitoring.
Operators and users of Celestia can create custom user interfaces and graphics, and can integrate with iOS and Android PED apps. The Celestia system architecture is also agile and can be adapted to any cabin environment such as VIP, business jet or commercial aircraft.
Rosen notes that the system architecture, claimed to be unique to the industry in terms of its design and implementation, has many benefits that apply to end users, as well as operators and maintenance crews, such as the ability to easily swap-out components between locations with little to no integration required. The system also leverages predictive system diagnostics to increase overall system performance, reliability and robustness.
“I think it’s safe to say that this is Rosen’s most impactful announcement in our organisation’s long, storied history, said Lee Clark, senior vice-president of strategy at Rosen Aviation.
“Celestia represents the long sought-after goal of providing a highly capable, innovative one-stop-shop for all cabin electronics needs, yet maintains a high level of agility and scalability to integrate with other technologies available in the interiors space. We have been vocal advocates for creating that model, and to achieve it now and going forward with Celestia, is a massive accomplishment by our entire team and our partners,” Clark added.
Rosen is showcasing a functioning mockup of the Celestia system at Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) 2025 in Hamburg this week.
