Q Streaming on a Qantas 767. qantas
Stream a little stream
Wireless streaming entertainment is here, but seatback screens are going nowhere
Streaming is the next big thing for inflight entertainment (IFE), with the wireless technology being rolled out on an increasing number of airlines. In essence, it’s a server full of movies, TV shows, music and more that’s carried on the plane, which passengers watch on their own devices, connected to the server via WiFi, without needing to connect to the internet inflight.
It’s a relatively low investment but high return for airlines, especially if they can charge for it, and is particularly easy to offer on aircraft with WiFi connectivity (rather than, say, GPRS roaming connections).
