The FIDS In a Box (FIAB) technology is a unique new FIDS display application which eliminates all moving parts and the associated need for technical maintenance. Weighing only one pound and supporting 1080p resolution, Blue Box Technology offers the lowest cost, best resolution and reliability in the information display market.

FIAB devices are rated with an Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of 200,000 hours (20 YEARS)!  This reduces long-term equipment cycling costs, reduces staff maintenance and environmental impact of equipment replacements.

This technology has been incorporated by Air Canada as their official Operational FIDS display system and for use in many public locations including Maple Leaf Lounges. Power consumption is reduced from 1/20 to 1/40 of regular PC usage down to 5 Watts! A cost savings per display device of $10-20/month and hundreds of dollars a year per computer!


The FIAB Technology adds functionality and reliability without penalty and at lower costs. Each FIAB device is a plug and play appliance which does not require any computer skills to install, replace or maintain. This display software operating with non-proprietary hardware eliminates the need for technical maintenance staff while reducing capital costs and long term costs of ownership.

  • Reduced maintenance
  • Reduced cost of ownership
  • Reduced human interface
  • MTBF is 200,000 hours.
  • Non-technical appliance does not require technical support or installation staff.
  • Consumes 95% less power than a standard computer, while delivering the same performance.  This translates into dollar savings that also provides a smaller carbon footprint.

EVERYTHING! EVERYWHERE! Server-Free Flight Information Display

TSI’s Server-Free Flight Information Display solution provides real-time flight information to airports without the standard head-end equipment required in a system.  The FIAB units are connected via the internet and driven by TSI remotely.  Information is automatically updated.  Users can edit information via web input stations.

FIAB units are excellent off-site displays operating away from the airport providing real-time flight information to locations such as cargo facilities, aircraft food preparation, aircraft refueling, hotels, tourism offices etc. 

A combination of the FIAB unit and the TSI datastream delivers a real-time airport information display device that can be operate anywhere with a LAN, WAN or WWW connection.
