Being able to access your emails, social media sites, and more while traveling at 30,000 feet in the air is pretty amazing, but as anyone that's used in-flight Wi-Fi knows, getting everything working with your devices can sometimes be a pain in the butt.
Speeds are often slow, devices often don't want to connect at all, and this can create a less than enjoyable experience.
In an attempt to iron out these quirks, a few companies are joining forces to create the "Seamless Air Alliance." The goal of the Seamless Air Alliance is to deliver 5G data speeds to users via satellite technology, and this transition would eliminate the need to authenticate devices for in-flight access, log into special accounts, and pay for service via a credit/debit card before being able to use it.
Delta and Airbus SE are the first two airlines leading the new initiative, and they're joined by U.S. wireless service carrier Sprint, OneWeb (a satellite startup that's backed by SoftBank in Japan), and Bharti Airtel out of India
Each airline currently uses its own specialized cabin system for offering internet access to its planes, but the Seamless Air Alliance wants to cut down on costs and extra use of resources by creating a single standard to be used by all.
It remains to be seen if these companies can deliver on the goals they're setting for themselves, but I'm personally all about anything that makes in-flight internet faster and more user-friendly. What about you?
