ALTO Aviation, a leading supplier of premium cabin audio systems and cabin control for business aviation, part of Heads Up Technologies, Inc. (“HUT”), has announced at the 69th Annual AEA Convention and Trade Show in Dallas, TX, the expansion of its Cadence Cabin Management System portfolio with the launching of its new generation of touchscreen panels and M3 metal panels designed specifically for aftermarket aircraft upgrades.
The new ALTO touchscreens provide aircraft owners, completion centers, and operators with a sleek, modern solution to solve obsolescence and upgrade the control of all cabin functionality: lighting, IFE, power, galley appliances, attendant call, shades, climate, and system settings.
Engineered for seamless integration into existing cabin management and entertainment systems, the solution is ideal for retrofit and refurbishment programs across a wide range of business jets, turboprops, and VIP aircraft.
Available in 3.5″ and 4.3″ sizes & 10.1” Galley Touch Screen monitor, with customizable Graphic User Interface (GUI) and Power over Ethernet, the new ALTO Touchscreen panels seamlessly fit in seat armrest, side ledge, bulkhead, and divan.
The new M3 Metal Panels are modular panels that can be installed independently or paired with ALTO touchscreens, providing a premium feel and proven functionality with elegant, minimalistic icons that do not show wear.
“This launch is a milestone for us,” said Scott Sweet, VP of Sales at Heads Up Technologies. “We listened closely to our customers, and what they wanted was simple: modern controls that look beautiful, feel great to use, and integrate easily into older aircraft.
“Our new touchscreen panels and M3 Metal Panels do exactly that. They bring today’s cabin experience to yesterday’s aircraft, and we’re genuinely excited to put this technology into the hands of operators, completion centers, and owners who deserve solutions that elevate every flight.”
