Seamless Air Alliance creates first standard for in-flight connectivity systems

A number of major players in the in-flight connectivity market said they have developed a standard aimed at making it easier to adopt new services in aircraft. The Seamless Air Alliance, which includes Delta, Airbus and OneWeb among others, said the Seamless Release 1.0 establishes a modular platform architecture based on open interfaces, so new technologies can be adopted without customization or complete replacement of equipment on the aircraft.
