Burrana upgrades inflight technology opportunities with user-friendly RISE

IFE and cabin technology specialist Burrana, has launched a new IFE platform, RISE, created to solve airlines' inflight entertainment challenges and support easier updating through flexible, airline controlled adaptability.

David Pook, vp marketing and sales support at Burrana said: “The RISE platform consists of hardware, software, apps and services which can be scaled depending on aircraft type and business need. Enabled by shared hardware and a common 48VDC power backbone, the RISE platform can be configured to include seatback, wireless, or overhead entertainment, as well as in-seat power – or any combination of these.”

All the displays within the RISE platform are 4K Ultra High Definition (UHD) resolution and feature High Dynamic Range (HDR), large amounts of local storage, and robust processing power, packaged in a thin and modern design. Each seatback display also supports integrated single-pin audio, Bluetooth, Near Field Communication (NFC), and the airline’s choice between USB-C or the industry’s highest power USB-A offering.

RISE also leverages crowd-sourced data and intelligent algorithms to deliver a dynamic entertainment experience that adapts to the passenger as they use it. Targetted adverts, a recommendation engine, and comprehensive accessibility settings give passengers an intuitive, more personalised IFE.
