Technology Committee

The mission of the WAEA-TC is to identify technologies which could impact the passenger environment in the future (e.g. IFE, computers, communications, software, satellite, displays, processes, etc.). The TC will analyze the emerging technologies, impart the knowledge acquired to the WAEA membership, and recommend/guide the implementation of the technologies into the passenger environment. Technology Committee activities include regularly scheduled general and Working Group meetings, specification and document development, educational events, teleconferencing, web forums, and educational articles and updates.

The WAEA TC Working Groups function as subcommittees of the TC, each one focusing in on a particular new technology or technical issue as identified by the TC. These Working Groups examine the potential impact of these technologies and issues on IFE and develop recommendations, guidelines, technical specifications and other documents to address the challenges and opportunities presented.
