Airmont and DPI Labs Announce First Operational Deployment of Integrated Live TV on a BBJ

Why It MattersEmbedding the gateway inside existing cabin servers points to onboard live TV becoming a software layer on installed connectivity rather than a separate hardware retrofit for business aircraft operators.

Airmont, a specialist in live television delivery over onboard connectivity, has announced the first operational deployment of its live TV solution fully integrated with DPI Labs' certified avionics platform, on a BBJ. The collaboration combines Airmont's StreamTime technology with DPI Labs' cabin entertainment infrastructure to bring live television into the business aviation passenger experience.

At the core of the integration, the Airmont Gateway runs as a virtual machine hosted directly within DPI Labs' Multimedia and Moving Map Server (MMS), which removes the need for a separate physical gateway. The MMS can support more than 100 simultaneous passenger streams. StreamTime, Airmont's proprietary live TV streaming technology, transports and optimizes live television streams over the aircraft's available connectivity, making efficient use of bandwidth and helping operators manage connectivity costs. The solution operates on Eutelsat's OneWeb constellation, which is used by the Gogo Galileo system.

The Airmont Player application runs on an aviation-grade Apple TV provided by DPI Labs, while passengers access and control the TV experience on an iPad by scanning a QR code. The companies say the integration lets operators add live television to the cabin entertainment experience while making better use of their existing onboard connectivity.
