PC Locs Takes to the Skies with Qantas Partnership

24.06.13 by PC Locs in Blog

Australian IT equipment designer and manufacturer, PC Locs and its international brand LocknCharge, partnered with Qantas Airways Limited and Telstra Corporation to deliver a fleet of customized iPad®-ready galley carts to support the airline’s new in-flight entertainment and Q-Streaming service for iPad® devices and other tablets.

PC Locs supplied Qantas with the necessary equipment to store, transport, sync and charge multiple iPad® devices. Telstra supplied and supported the configuration management of the iPad® devices. Qantas passengers can now access over 200 hours of on demand entertainment streamed wirelessly to the complimentary iPad® provided by Qantas.

Qantas Airlines rolled out 5000 iPad® devices on their Boeing 767 fleet, with flight routes across Australia and between Australia and Honolulu, Hawaii. The 767s were outfitted with customized iPad® galley carts, which were deployed in stages.

James Symons, CEO of PC Locs, says the partnership was the result of a six month collaboration between the company and Qantas to design and deliver a hi-tech sync and charge galley cart. Each 767 airplane will carry four carts providing 256 iPad® devices for passengers to enjoy.

“By teaming up with the globally iconic Qantas, we helped lead the way in bringing iPad® technology to the airline’s in-flight experience. Together, we worked through the many challenges that come with developing the right technology and equipment needed to support the constant use of hundreds of iPad® devices on each flight. We designed our solution to specifically integrate with the Qantas personnel work environment and adhere to strict aviation standards,” said Symons.
