The Problem

Traditional app architecture limits innovation in and around the cabin
  • Airlines Crews Often Operate in Dead Zones
    from the cabin at altitude to remote gates and tarmac environments where connectivity is never guaranteed
  • Intermittent Connectivity is a Major Hindrance
    that erode crew productivity, turnaround efficiency, and in-flight service quality
  • On-Time Performance and Customer Experience Suffer
    when mobile workflows can't operate in real-time
  • Reconnection isn't Quick
    often requiring assistance from IT

The Solution

Peer-to-peer and mesh technology enables resilient operations
  • Software-Driven, Offline Networking
    that builds a peer-to-peer mesh network with just the mobile and edge devices your crews already carry
  • Build Resilient Apps That Always Sync
    by enabling "offline" devices to relay real-time changes through nearby online devices
  • Speed Up Aircraft Turnaround Time
    by eliminating networking bottlenecks that cascade into delays
  • Drive Sustained Passenger Service
    for in-flight sales, crew coordination, EFB sync, and more

Resilient mobile sync
for every team


Limited Connectivity Stalls Productivity

Ditto enables crew collaboration even in the toughest, most disconnected environments.


Extend the Reach of Your Cloud Systems

If even one device in the local area has cloud connection, data changes from all devices will be synced to the cloud.


Maintain Operational Continuity

Scan bags, update work orders, and manage teams even when offline.


Limited Connection Slows Airplane Turnaround Time

Teams that are offline take longer to scan and load bags.


With Ditto, Only One Device Needs an Internet Connection

One online device can proxy changes from all local devices. If even one worker has connection, all data will be synced to the cloud.

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.

“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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.


Check out our pricing pages for information on Ditto Cloud Sync and Peer-to-Peer Sync. Depending on your needs, you may need to speak with our sales team to discuss your project’s scope.


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.
