IMDC Releases Inflight Connectivity and Aeronautical Broadband Report
Tuesday 17th December 2002, Today the Inflight Management Development Centre (IMDC) announces the release of its Inflight Connectivity and Aeronautical Broadband report. This market report is a comprehensive review of the current market for inflight communication products and provides clarity in a currently complex and evolving market.
Passenger connectivity has been available for a number of years; however, until recently, was limited to the under-performing telephony systems offered onboard. The proliferation of email and internet over the past decade combined with rapid developments in technology has led a number of companies into investing in these services for the onboard passenger market.
The number of players in the market and the wide range of technical solutions available have given rise to a high degree of confusion and uncertainty among the decision-makers in the market. There is a clear requirement for top-level knowledge in the market, with the situation being compounded by a high level of jargon and the difficulty of distinguishing between what are merely concepts and what can realistically be achieved.
“We have spent the past few months gathering information and data from airlines, passengers, and from the key suppliers of passengers communications services. The result is this well balanced report which is a useful tool in understanding the issues”, says Walé Adepoju, CEO of IMDC.
“It is clear from our investigation that there are some impressive solutions out there for passenger email and internet, telephony and live TV. However, the real work has only just begun in addressing commercial, operational, logistics and implementation issues”, says Adepoju.
