Real-Time Sync for Inflight Teams, Ground Crews, and Passengers
Traditional cloud architecture works great for applications that have a consistently strong connection to the internet. But for connected workers who operate exclusively in degraded environments such as the cabin or tarmac, this architecture is unreliable.
This makes it extremely difficult to build reliable applications that can drive efficiency of operations, customer experience, and in-cabin revenue.
With Ditto’s SDK embedded, your crew and passengers can sync orders, inventory, and more directly without inflight WiFi, network hardware, or complex wiring.
Ditto enables the mobile devices you already have to form their own resilient networks and talk directly over peer-to-peer transports.
Seamless crew collaboration, even without internet
Ditto interconnects all business-critical devices into an ad-hoc network, automatically syncing data changes directly over peer-to-peer networks.
“Ditto's Intelligent Edge ensures our data is always up to date”
"This app enables us to support crews with a comfortable device like an iPad efficiently, and we can rest assured that Ditto’s Intelligent Edge ensures our data is always up to date, even when network connectivity is poor or unavailable."
Michael HackSolution Architect
“This technology truly revolutionizes the way crew members work”
Ditto's remarkable capabilities enable smooth and stable communication among crew devices, even without connectivity during flight. This allows our crew to shift from former manual operations to a more advanced and efficient working style and enables us to create more room for the crew to introduce new services to passengers. This technology truly revolutionizes the way crew members work.

“Our Ditto partnership is providing real-time visibility for inflight devices”
"Our approach to developing frontline tools prioritizes close partnership with our flight attendants during each development step. Ditto has been a great partner in ensuring our tools are seamless for our flight attendants. With their help, we have supported our workgroup by providing visibility of one another’s inflight mobile device… in real-time"

Have a developer sign up in the Ditto Portal to build a free Ditto application. We also have demo apps that you can download and test pre-built Ditto apps on your own devices.
Devices don’t wait for connection to WiFi, servers, or the cloud. They create a localized mesh network and sync directly with each other over Peer-to-Peer Wi-Fi (think Airdrop), Bluetooth Low Energy, or Local Area Network. If one connection drops, Ditto automatically reroutes through another channel or device within the network.
In Ditto's implementation, conflicts are automatically resolved, merged, and synced across peers without the need for coordination or validation from a centralized authority. Learn more about Ditto’s CRDT.

Ditto's offline-first, embedded database stores data in structured JSON-like document objects, similar to NoSQL. It runs within your app (on mobile, web, IoT, etc.), allowing you to read and write data even without an internet connection. Each instance of the Edge SDK maintains its own local datastore, so the app remains fully functional offline and can share data locally. Learn more here.
Encrypted at the transport layer using version 1.3 of the Transport Layer Protocol (TLS), clients and servers are mutually authenticated prior to transmission of API and peer-to-peer access credentials. The use of mutually authenticated TLS (mTLS) mitigates potential risks posed by outside attackers attempting to masquerade as a valid API endpoint or peer in the mesh network to steal information.
Additionally, Ditto workloads and services are tightly controlled in a containerized Kubernetes environment.
