Official Rex project photography.A CONSIDERED APPROACH
Made around
your priorities.
Modernize the way your cabin works as well as the way it looks. Rex brings together cabin management systems (CMS), in-flight entertainment (IFE), audio, video, connectivity, passenger controls, intelligent lighting and integrated cabin electronics. From a focused system upgrade to a Complete Cabin Technology Retrofit alongside full interior refurbishment, the scope is developed around your aircraft, its existing systems and the passenger experience you want to create.
- Cabin management systems, passenger controls and touchscreen integration
- HD / 4K entertainment, cabin monitors, digital media and moving maps
- Wi-Fi integration, wireless connectivity and cabin network infrastructure
- High-fidelity audio, speakers, amplifiers and configurable cabin audio zones
- LED, RGB / RGBW mood lighting, programmed scenes and starlight headliners
- Passenger charging, galley electrical integration and cabin power distribution
- Custom panels, bezels, equipment enclosures and legacy electronics modernization
- Wiring, system configuration, functional testing and engineering / FAA coordination

BEFORE WE BEGIN
A few useful
questions.
What is a Complete Cabin Technology Retrofit?+
It is a coordinated modernization of the cabin’s technology: entertainment, connectivity, passenger controls, lighting and the electronics that connect them. Rex reviews the existing aircraft systems and your priorities to define which components can be retained, upgraded or replaced.
Can technology upgrades be combined with interior refurbishment?+
Yes. Seating, carpet, cabinetry and cabin technology can be planned as one project. Discussing them together helps coordinate monitor locations, control interfaces, wiring access, lighting and the finished appearance of the cabin.
Can I upgrade one system instead of replacing everything?+
Yes. Share the aircraft model, the installed equipment you know about and the feature you want to improve. A targeted upgrade can be evaluated alongside a broader retrofit; the right approach depends on compatibility, equipment condition and the agreed scope.
Can Rex integrate Apple TV, wireless media or touchscreen controls?+
These are part of the available integration services. Rex reviews the source devices, displays, network and control architecture for your aircraft. Streaming services, internet connectivity and equipment compatibility are considered during that review.
How are engineering and certification requirements handled?+
Rex’s services include retrofit engineering support and coordination for electrical load analysis, installation drawings, wiring diagrams and certification / FAA engineering. The required responsibilities, documentation and approvals are established for the specific aircraft and installation scope.
What should I send to start a technology consultation?+
Send the aircraft model, photographs of the cabin screens and controls, any known CMS / IFE equipment information, your priorities and your preferred timing. Rex can then discuss a focused upgrade or a complete interior and technology refurbishment with you.
