Panasonic Avionics - In-Flight Entertainment, Connecting business
summary
Panasonic Avionics claims deployment on 3,200 airplanes for 100 airlines, serving 5 million passengers daily, with head-end content servers storing 2–10 TB per aircraft and KU-band satellite links at about 1.5 Gbps. Interactive seat software uses Qt/QML (currently 4.7.2, R&D on Qt5), runs on Linux/ARM and Atom targets across smart monitors, tablets and game‑pads, leverages QML property binding to alter UI post‑delivery and cuts ATP turnaround by treating QML as content.
