Burrana nominated as an award finalist at APEX Expo

Burrana has announced it has been nominated as a finalist for its RISE Power product in the APEX Best Inflight Entertainment Innovation Award category for 2022.

The category celebrates innovation towards elevating the passenger experience, which Burrana says is a core value for the company. David Pook, VP Marketing and Sales Support concurs: “Leveraging design thinking and technology innovation, we strive every day to find new and unique ways to elevate the passenger experience, enhance revenue, minimise expenditure, and optimise efficiencies so airlines can reinvest those savings back into benefitting their guests, and increase customer loyalty.

“In-seat power might not immediately be considered the most obvious product to deliver on such critical business goals, however, RISE Power has been thoughtfully designed to do just that!”

RISE Power consists of a small, lightweight seat kit housing USB jacks and/or 110V outlets and seat power boxes as small as an iPhone to provide airlines the flexibility to install in multiple locations (seat spar, seat pan, seatback, below the seat or in-arm). The solution is also easily tailored to fit specific airline configurations and allows ultimate flexibility for airlines to mix and match USB 15W/60W and 110VAC across seat zones and classes with numerous single, double, or combo port configurations.

With a weight up to 30% lighter than traditional architectures, there is typically no need for expensive dynamic retesting or recertification of most seats.

Installation is simple with a streamlined STC conducted overnight or OEM linefit. The smaller and lighter LRUs simplify installation and ongoing maintenance of the system, removing significant cost and weight, while reducing fuel burn and CO2 emissions.
