Passenger Control Units
PAXCOM Optional
The most commonly used technology for Passenger Control
Units (PCUs) are capacitive touch sensors combined with a
robust glass surface, which we call Glass PCU‘s.
The mechanical Control Panels, called Hard Buttons, are an
alternative to the Glass PCU’s. The Hard Buttons can have
the same functions as the Glass PCU’s and also offer greater
design freedom.
In 2013 the innovative Glass PCU technology
won the Crystal Cabin Award in the
category Premium Class & VIP.
