More than 20 companies are members of the Seamless Air Alliance, working together to establish open architecture standards for in-flight connectivity, including the likes of Airbus, Sprint, Delta Air Lines and Etihad Airways.

In our discussion, Mandala explained their open standards work for in-flight connectivity and the new Hotspot 2.0 Wi-Fi services they launched and demonstrated at the 2019 Paris Air Show.
