Today, running an airline is as much about technology as it is about aviation, with connectivity at the heart of it all. Hyper-connected passengers who expect their bandwidth to be as fast as their planes, and their flights as entertaining as their homes, are changing the airline industry. 5G is poised to provide the mobility needed to meet and exceed expectations, fueling new experiences and efficiencies one could only imagine a few years ago. In this episode of The Restless Ones, our host Jonathan Strickland speaks with Ravi Simhambhatla, Chief Technology Officer of United Airlines, to discuss what it takes to build a connected airline in a 5G world. Make sure to check out other episodes in this series featuring: Nicole Raimundo, Chief Information Officer of Cary, North Carolina and Firdaus Bhathena, Chief Digital Officer of CVS Health.
