BEIJING, Oct. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- AirMedia Group Inc.
("AirMedia" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: AMCN), an operator of
out-of-home advertising platforms in China targeting mid-to-high-end consumers as
well as a first-mover in the travel Wi-Fi market, today announced
that Beijing Yuehang Tianyi Electronic Information Technology Co.,
Ltd, a subsidiary of the Company, has signed strategic cooperation
agreements with Qingdao Airlines, Chengdu Airlines, and Yunnan
Hongtu Airlines (the "Agreements").
The Agreements with the airlines outlined detailed plans to
establish collaborations ranging from the deployment of Wi-Fi
systems onboard airplanes, operational management of air-to-ground
satellite communications, development and management of
air-to-ground Internet platforms, operational management of
in-flight multimedia entertainment and other emerging value-added
in-flight Internet services.
Mr. Herman Man Guo, Chairman and
CEO of AirMedia, commented, "The consummation of these strategic
collaborations with three airlines signals a new chapter in our
history, as we have realigned the Company's focus to empowering
airlines to exceed the expectations of their customers. These
collaborations with the airlines consolidate our efforts in shaping
our strategies to meet the advent of a new era of in-flight
connectivity, an area where our early planning identified strategic
importance. As part of our early planning, we established the first
regional satellite network in China enabling commercial satellite
communications over China, the
rest of Asia-Pacific, and
North America, and developed a
comprehensive solution based on the Gilat dual-band antenna
tailored to growing commercial applications of the first KA
satellite launched by China Satellite Communication Co. Ltd. In a
number of tests completed recently, our solution impressed
participating airlines with a swift delivery of quality multimedia
entertainment on different models of airplanes. Presently, we are
reaching out to additional airlines of various sizes to discuss
business opportunities."
Mr. Guo further commented that he expected that the market would
be enthused once the Company's solution obtains airworthiness
certificate. Currently the Company is pursuing airworthiness
certificate in China, the U.S. and
Europe.
