This document provides an overview of the Inflight Project between Inflight Dublin and TSSG. Inflight Dublin seeks to expand from a content company to a technology company by developing a system to wirelessly stream media content to passenger devices on flights. TSSG will support Inflight Dublin through their expertise in research and innovation. The project aims to gain approval from major Hollywood studios by detailing the security of media files throughout their lifecycle. A prototype iPad app was developed to demonstrate the solution.
