Cadami’s Distributed Storage Transforms Inseat IFE Systems into Powerful Edge CDN Nodes
We’re thrilled to share some exciting news from Cadami! This year at the Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) 2024 in Hamburg, we showcase our latest content distribution and storage technology innovation.
CADAMI AT AIX2023
The world of aviation is constantly evolving, with various technological advancements. As passenger in-flight entertainment continues to grow rapidly, Cadami unveiled its new technology at the just concluded AIX 2023. This innovation delivers video-on-demand to all seats simultaneously at their maximum data rate. As an exhibitor, Cadami has featured in the 2018, 2019, and 2023 editions of the event. Let’s delve into what we offered at the AIX 2023. The Cadami Solution: Onboard-Data Center and Storage-as-a-Service Cadami transforms IFE/C hardware into an onboard data center, allowing flexible software execution and distribution across the aircraft’s computer network.
Multicast ABR and Coded Caching
In this article, we give a brief overview about two media content distribution protocols that rely on multicasting: Multicast ABR (MABR) and Coded Caching. While MABR will be the standard technology for bandwidth-efficient livestreaming over multicast networks, Coded Caching can offer similar benefits for video-on-demand traffic.
Cadami’s Rapid Multicast – 100x Legacy WiFi Multicast Performance
The general belief is that WiFi isn’t well suited for high-bandwidth multicast applications. This is wrong: Reliable WiFi multicast at rates similar to unicast is possible for 1000+ receivers. We demonstrated 220 Mbps multicast throughput and >150 receivers in lab conditions.
Coded Caching
Cadami offers a software implementation of Coded Caching for commercial applications. Coded Caching uses a combination of caches at the receivers and coded broadcast transmission. The following example illustrates an application.
