Customer
A key player for decades in the aerospace sector that has been providing innovative technical services and is now shaping the future of aviation with cutting-edge digital cabin systems, providing passengers a completely new experience. The Aero Play Server Development is part of new equipment for inflight entertainment systems (NextGen Avionics System).
Customer Objectives
- Ability to manage the Aero Play Switch product from the outside using a more programmable/formal interface than a CLI.
- Development of an external REST API (Representational State Transfer – Application Program Interface) to manage the switch. REST API is an additional management interface well suited for programmed interaction with the Aero Play Switch product.
- Aerospace-grade solution (Airworthiness Requirements): robust and highly reliable – no opportunity for upgrades or extensions of the feature set.
- To be used in the aircraft cabin environment.
One of the key advantages of REST API is, that it provides a great deal of flexibility.
AimValley Solution
Design, development and verification (incl. FOSS and security analysis) of a REST API management interface.
Integration and testing on customer hardware.
Development based on existing re-usable REST API asset.
REST API format is derived from the internal data model (ALI) and is consistent with other interfaces, such as CLI and WebUI.
Creation of a new software release, no hardware impact.
