London | 27th June 2022:
The advent of lower cost satellite broadband networks like Starlink is revolutionising broadband connectivity during flights. Video entertainment on board has traditionally been delivered via expensive licensing cycles. The door is now open for more cost-effective solutions where streamed delivery of content to the seat via BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is now becoming a profitable scenario for airlines.
Perception TVCDN and GDC Media are partnering to develop ad-funded TV services for airlines comprising linear channels with catch up and VOD content which can be streamed or downloaded prior to the flight. This will enable passengers to enjoy free video entertainment over their broadband connection during the flight.
Perception TVCDN will develop services on its market-leading TV CDN platform and GDC Media will supply premium content and negotiate with airlines.
John Mills, Perception Group CEO said: “We are very excited about this deal with GDC Media, the in-flight entertainment market has started a radical change for the better and we look forward to jointly developing an innovative and ground breaking new service for the airline industry.”
Georgina Dodson, Managing Partner at GDC Media said: "GDC Media is placing itself in the forefront of a new shift in passenger entertainment with its "AERO VISION" OTT ad-assisted streaming platform. This disruption to the traditional content licensing deals used by airlines and their respective CSPs will turn IFE into a lucrative revenue stream for all parties involved. GDC has chosen the Perception TVCDN team to develop this advanced AERO VISION app — with all its capabilities and Comsat connectivity passengers can now be entertained as if they are at home."
