Las Vegas, NV, NBAA 2011, October 2011… Innotech Aviation and Esoteric‘s SkyPad app is now available free for download at the Apple App Store (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/esoteric-skypad-for-private/id466584926?ls=1&mt=8). The new app allows users of Innotech’s I-Ku broadband™ system to use their own personal iPads as the controller of the SkyPad luxury entertainment system (IFE).

“Previously, users had to use custom-configured iPads with the SkyPad system installed,” says Innotech Aviation managing director Rob Brooks. “Now, all the user needs to do is download the SkyPad app into their personal iPad to enjoy the same control and content. It’s made a simple system even simpler.”

SkyPad is the industry's first wireless luxury entertainment and cabin control system integrated with the Apple iPad™ and Ku Band Internet. Not only is it designed from scratch using the latest digital technology, but it is also a complete re-interpretation of the IFE concept.

SkyPad combines state-of-the-art audio/video compression and distribution technology with cloud computing, and provides a complete system for content loading, management and playback. Esoteric employs a sophisticated, yet simple approach to wireless technology. The SkyPad system can be installed as a stand-alone media system on any aircraft or integrated with any current high-speed satellite system and wireless router.
