The meeting will continue the standardization of aircraft cabin technologies:

*        Update of ARINC 485 network bus standard. This work is driven by APIM 19-002 and is expected to be mature in April 2020. Supplements to be produced:

*        Supplement 4 to ARINC Specification 485: Cabin Equipment Interfaces, Part 1, Head End Equipment Protocol

*        Supplement 5 to ARINC Specification 485: Cabin Equipment Interfaces, Part 2, Physical Layer - In-Seat Protocol

*        Development of Supplement 8 to ARINC Specification 628: Cabin Equipment Interfaces, Part 1, Cabin Management and Entertainment System - Peripherals. The purpose of this project is to evaluate and standardize certifiable technical implementation solutions for:

*        Global CWAP Operational Management (GCOM) for use on regional or international flights (APIM 15-006).

*        Interface definitions for High-Definition (HD) Landscape Camera and UHD (4K) video streams. (APIM 15-006 and APIM 16-005).

*        Standardization of aircraft interior surveillance systems  (APIM 17-011).

*        Standardization of a Cabin Wireless Access Point (CWAP) capable of supporting greater than 1 Gbps Ethernet Interfaces (APIM 17-009).

*        Development of Supplement 5 to ARINC Specification 628: Cabin Equipment Interfaces, Part 5, Cabin Electrical Equipment and Wiring Installation Guidelines. The purpose of this project is to evaluate and standardize wiring protection methods, tools, and materials for in-seat wiring installations. This work is driven by APIM 19-003 and is expected to be mature in April 2020.

*        Development of Supplement 4 to ARINC Specification 664: Aircraft Data Network, Part 2, Ethernet Physical and Data Link Layer Specification to include the physical and data layer for Ethernet based on IEEE 802.bw (100BASE-T1) and IEEE 802.3 bp (1000BASE-T1) interface for commercial aircraft. A work plan for Supplement 4 to ARINC 664, Part 2 submitted by Boeing was reviewed at the meeting.

*        Development of Supplement 2 to ARINC Specification 800: Cabin Connectors and Cables, Part 2, Specification of Connectors, Contacts, and Backshells to include inserts and connectors suitable for use with IEEE 802.bw (100BASE-T1) and IEEE 802.3 bp (1000BASE-T1) Ethernet systems used by the next generation network bus (ARINC Project Paper 854). This work is driven by APIM 16-011A and is expected to be mature in April 2020.

*        Development of Supplement 3 to ARINC Specification 800: Cabin Connectors and Cables, Part 3, Specification of Cables to include CAT 5A (two wire) and CAT 6 (four wire) cables suitable for use with IEEE 802.bw (100BASE-T1) and IEEE 802.3 bp (1000BASE-T1) Ethernet systems used by the next generation network bus (ARINC Project Paper 854). This work is driven by APIM 16-011A and is expected to be mature in April 2020.

*        Development of Supplement 3 to ARINC Specification 808: 3GCN - Cabin Distribution System to update the 3GCN architecture to incorporate a 10 Gbps fiber backbone routed between the head-end IFE equipment and the Area Distribution Boxes that form the cabin network distribution system. This work is driven by APIM 17-011 and is expected to be mature in April 2020.

*        Development of Supplement 4 to ARINC Specification 809: 3GCN - Cabin Distribution System to update the 3GCN architecture to incorporate a 10 Gbps fiber backbone routed between the head-end IFE equipment and the Area Distribution Boxes that form the cabin network distribution system. This work is driven by APIM 17-011 and is expected to be mature in April 2020.

*        Development of ARINC Project Paper 854 to define the next generation cabin bus using Ethernet. The CSS will (1) develop Supplement 4 to ARINC Specification 664, Part 2 to define the physical and network layers for 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1, and (2) develop a new ARINC Project Paper 854 to define bus application to cabin systems, initially for in-seat network and Cabin Lighting Systems. This work is being performed under APIM 16-011A and is expected to be mature in April 2020.

*        Development of ARINC Project Paper 8XX, a fifth-generation cabin network bus (5GCN). This project is chartered under APIM 18-001 and is expected to result in a new ARINC Project Paper 8XX. The project is expected to be mature in April 2021.
