NB. ho un debole per QF...!
Avevo visto (qui su AC?) quel concept di QF in cui mettono gli iPad nelle tasche dei sedili. Io pensavo proprio a piazzarli in posizione fissa, al posto degli IFE..
Credo sia minore, senza contare che penso debba anche pesare meno mancando tutti i cablaggi ed il resto.
Ma allora, pure contando il costo di una personalizzazione software, perchè non lo fanno?
Non buttarti giù. A volte la realtà è esattamente questa.
Non è che magari si vuole evitare i campi magnetici di 2/300 tablet accesi contemporaneamente?? Oltre che per le interferenze anche a livello biologico non sò quanto faccia bene..
certo che usare dei tablet con un cavetto per alimentazione/rete dati eliminerebbe un bel pò di peso tra monitor, scatole IFE ecc..
The basics
What is Q Streaming?
Q Streaming will give everyone the ability to stream inflight entertainment content to individual Apple iPads supplied by Qantas. Later you will be able to watch our inflight entertainment on your own Wi-Fi enabled device.
Which flights will Q Streaming be installed on?
Q Streaming will be available on flights operated by our refreshed B767s. All 16 will be flying by March 2013.
How is Q Streaming different from Jetstar's video on demand?
Q Straming’s entertainment programs are stored on a content server rather than directly on the iPads themselves. Programs are streamed wirelessly from the server to a Wi-Fi enabled device via six wireless access points installed along the aircraft's ceiling.
In terms of entertainment options, this means we can provide 18 times the amount of content that will fit onto a 64 Gb tablet.
Content
Can I still watch the current overhead inflight entertainment system?
Yes, the overhead inflight entertainment system will continue to broadcast the latest news from the Nine Network, prime-time television programs and "What's On", our exclusive look at the best live events around Australia.
What content will be available?
You will be able to access a selection of on demand movies, television and radio programs.
Is the content on demand?
You can choose to start, pause, fast forward and stop any of the audio and video programs whenever you like.
How much content will be available?
You can choose from over 200 hours of movies, television and radio programs. This is even greater choice than what is currently available on our International Boeing 747 and Airbus 330 aircraft.
Technical info
What are the components of the Q Streaming system?
The system consists of a content server installed in the aircraft's electronics bay and six wireless access points installed along the aircraft's ceiling.

When can I connect to Q Streaming?
Q Streaming will be available once the seat belt sign is extinguished.
Can I use Q Streaming until the aircraft lands?
You will need to turn off the iPad and stow it in your seat pocket once the aircraft has commenced descent and the Cabin Crew are preparing the cabin for landing.
How do I connect to Q Streaming?

Is Wi-Fi safe?
The WiFi Alliance and the World Health Organisation (WHO) indicate that there is currently no established evidence of adverse health effects from exposure to radio waves at or below the recommended limits. Q Streaming will operate below these limits. To find out more download these fact sheets.
Are there any risks associated with carrying so many lithium batteries inflight?
Lithium Batteries when handled correctly are completely safe. Only genuine lithium batteries are permitted on aircraft as they have in-built safety devices and have been tested to UN testing criteria for Verification of Compliance. Imitation, damaged or faulty lithium batteries are forbidden from carriage on aircraft.
iPads
