Airmont

Airmont is a French company based in Ermont, near Paris, that develops software and services for streaming television and media on the move. Its customers include operators of business jets, yachts, cruise lines, merchant ships and airlines. The company says passengers can watch live TV or cast content from a mobile device to a cabin screen, and can pick up a series where they left off.

What the company does

Airmont's streaming optimization platform is designed to give a good picture while using little internet bandwidth, thanks to data compression.
