Description

In-flight Entertainment & Connectivity Market Introduction and Overview

According to SPER market research, ‘Global In-flight Entertainment & Connectivity Market Size- By Component, By Aircraft Type, By Offering Type – Regional Outlook, Competitive Strategies and Segment Forecast to 2034’ state that the Global In-flight Entertainment & Connectivity Market is predicted to reach 16.15 Billion by 2034 with a CAGR 8.66%.

In-flight Entertainment and Connectivity (IFEC) encompasses the technologies that deliver entertainment and internet access to passengers during flights. While traditional IFEC relied on seatback screens showing movies and music, modern systems now enable wireless streaming directly to personal devices, minimizing the need for physical hardware. Connectivity services provide onboard Wi-Fi, allowing passengers to browse the web and communicate in real time.

Restraints:
The In-flight Entertainment & Connectivity (IFEC) market encounters various challenges that hinder its expansion and implementation. The high costs of installing and maintaining advanced systems can deter airlines, particularly smaller ones. Technical problems such as unstable connectivity and limited bandwidth negatively impact passenger experience. Integrating new technologies with current aircraft systems is often complex and time-intensive. Moreover, regulatory issues and cybersecurity risks present obstacles in delivering secure and compliant connectivity.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
