Workshop 3, Topic 2: Content Delivery – How to Speed Up Media Content Integration and Fix the Last Mile

How can we speed up media content integration and fix the last mile?

In this session, we’ll dissect the current state of media content integration in the airline industry. We’ll discuss how to turn bottlenecks into breakthroughs and inefficiencies into innovations. What does it take to streamline the content integration process? Let’s delve into the world of automated workflows, AI-driven content management systems, and the impact of advanced data compression techniques.

But the journey doesn’t end there. The ‘last mile’ of content delivery – getting content effectively onto passengers’ screens – is often the most challenging. We’ll brainstorm technological and procedural solutions, such as upgrading onboard hardware, utilizing innovative transmission technologies, and enhancing caching strategies.
