Abstract
Disclosed is a method and seat centric device for providing data over a plurality of communication channels inside an aircraft. In one aspect, the method comprises obtaining storage information of data from one or more aircraft servers and a request for subset of data from a seat centric device. The method further comprises, identifying location of the subset of data in at least one of the one or more aircraft servers based on an analysis of the request the storage information data and an available communication channels between the seat centric device and the aircraft server. Furthermore, the method comprises initializing a multipath protocol for transfer of the subset of data associated with the request between the aircraft server and the seat centric device and initiating data transfer associated with the request simultaneously over the available communication channels for providing the subset of data to seat centric device.
