REI will debut the Digital Media Center; a luxury personal entertainment solution for the transportation industry. Never before has the industry been able to provide wireless, personalized entertainment for their passengers. Powered by REI’s Digital Media Center, passengers gain access to movies, television and custom programming via Wi-Fi from licensed studios.
