Synopsis: LAX’s new jewel is not just for techno-geeks. Hollywood storytelling and sparkle inspire the integrated environmental media system (IEMS) at LAX. This core of intelligent systems and media environments creates a passenger experience that evokes the past era of romance and excitement in air travel for today’s passengers, simultaneously offering new non-traditional sources of non-aeronautical revenues for LAX. The IEMS is supported by a state-of-the-art content delivery system, which blends audio visual, IT, broadcast and control technologies in unexpected ways, and provides a new model for airports around the globe.
