With the rise of high-speed yet cost-effective LEO connectivity, airlines can now offer a streaming-style inflight experience directly from the cloud. PXCom’s cloud-based IFE removes the need for heavy onboard servers, enabling an agile, cost-efficient and instantly updateable entertainment platform.
✔ No onboard storage limitations
✔ Real-time catalog updates in hours — or minutes
✔ Reduced hardware, weight, and maintenance
✔ A unified digital experience, whether connected or not
Cloud-based IFE and LEO connectivity bring the possibility of streaming-style experiences, but they do not remove the constraints of licensing. All inflight content must remain compliant with studio rights, regional regulations and safety requirements. PXCom ensures a curated and controlled environment at all times. External streaming platforms such as Netflix or Prime Video remain inaccessible, and all content presented onboard is filtered, approved and protected. Passengers enjoy the convenience of streaming, but in a framework designed to prevent exposure to inappropriate material and respect all copyright restrictions.
Passengers expect inflight entertainment to work just like their everyday streaming services. With PXCom’s cloud-powered platform, they enjoy a frictionless, app-like experience across devices:
✔ Works on PEDs, airline iPads/tablets, or wireless seatback screens
✔ Accessible via browser, dedicated app, or embedded into your mobile airline app
✔ Available only when connected to the aircraft network, and from your lounges wifi
Whether browsing movies, shopping or exploring travel content, passengers navigate with the same ease as at home.
Cloud delivery becomes even more efficient when paired with intelligent edge caching. Popular titles can be pre-positioned automatically on lightweight onboard storage, ensuring instant playback while preserving bandwidth. This hybrid architecture — cloud catalog, LEO backhaul, and onboard edge storage — combines the strengths of each layer. It enables fast transfers over LEO, guarantees immediate access to high-demand content, and maintains the full catalog in the cloud for maximum flexibility. The passenger experience remains smooth and uninterrupted, even during peak usage.
PXCom’s cloud-based IFE is more than entertainment. It becomes your digital touchpoint in the cabin:
✔ Light IFE streaming
✔ AI-driven personalization & chatbot
✔ Inflight marketplace & payment
✔ Digital advertising
✔ Dynamic destination guides
✔ Surveys & feedback tools
All deployed from the cloud. No heavy onboard infrastructure. Always up to date.
Lighter. Faster. Safer.
Designed for modern fleets and hybrid-connected aircraft.
