Efficiency, business continuity, service recovery, utilisation, safety and security on a massive scale.

Airports are remarkable places, entire communities, employing tens of thousands of people within their perimeters, and covering areas measured in square miles, operating around the clock, 365 days a year.

Operating an airport can be likened to running a large town, for instance the 76.5 million m² site covered by Istanbul Airport which includes its own power plant, water treatment and waste facilities, hotel, restaurants, shops, parking for 70,000 cars, 500 aircraft and an annual capacity of over 150 million passengers.

Clear, reliable and effective two-way radio communications is critical to operational safety and efficiency

Clear, reliable and effective two-way radio communications of both voice and data between diverse teams in an airport is not just important, it’s critical to operational efficiency, business continuity, safety and security.

In the past, companies within airports operated as separate entities and developed their own two-way radio systems to allow them to communicate with their clients, typically airlines; while in turn, airlines needed to communicate with both their suppliers and their own teams.

This led to a proliferation of stand-alone communications systems and resulted in huge inefficiencies and a high risk to the resident airport community and passengers in the event of an emergency or disaster.

In recent years however, this situation has changed across the world’s airports with investment in integrated solutions to allow cross communication between individuals and user groups operating at desks, on foot or from vehicles, including:
