ALTO Aviation Launches Its New 2021 ALTO Cadence™ Upgrade Programs

ALTO Aviation has launched its new 2021 In-Flight Entertainment and Cadence™ Cabin Management System upgrade programs specifically customized for all retrofit business aircraft.

The 2021 ALTO Cadence™ upgrade programs offer various non-compromise, budget-friendly cabin audio, and entertainment upgrades and includes a wide selection of direct replacement and fit compatible passenger controls and bezels. All the solutions are designed to preserve your wood and furnishing and serve all styles, including the Micronet round, squared, raised oval button, and the concave curved side ledge panels.

The upgrades offer the possibility of easy integration or full replacement of the existing Cabin Management System in the aircraft with ALTO’s new System Master Controller. This intuitive module seamlessly links aircraft Cabin Management System components with various communication protocols together.

All ALTO’s 2021 upgrade programs have a convenient modular approach, allowing scaling the upgradesto meet and exceed each aircraft’s exact requirements efficiently. Some of the features include enabling easy removal of headphone functionality, replacing them with blanking plates, repurposing the panels with USB, adding local Read-Table lighting to the former headphone locations, and eliminating the former PSU panels, all within the constraints of the original panel.

This simple design step eliminates nearly 40% of the existing panels, resulting in significantly lower installation costs.

“The new 2021 ALTO In-Flight Entertainment and Cadence™ Cabin Management System solutions for retrofit business aircraft allowed us to meet the highest demands of our customers in a very budget-friendly, modular approach without any compromise of quality in the performance and trusted excellent customer support from our team. We look forward to continuing providing innovative solutions designed with simplicity in mind for the retrofit aircraft.” – Kevin Hayes, VP of Sales & Marketing, said.
