<strong>THE</strong> <strong>CUSTOMER</strong>-<strong>CENTRIC</strong> <strong>AIRPORT</strong><br />

[<br />

Technology Innovation Description Airport Benefit<br />

Near-field Communications<br />

Near-field communications (NFC) share similarities<br />

with Bluetooth wireless services for inter-device<br />

connectivity. However, while Bluetooth’s range<br />

typically extends to 20 to 30 feet, NFC range is<br />

limited to around 2 to 5 inches. As a result, NFC<br />

is particularly advantageous in situations where<br />

proximity of devices is valuable, which overcomes<br />

interference with other wireless devices.<br />

Maximize throughput and<br />

enhance customer experience<br />

Geofencing<br />

Enables businesses to create a virtual, digital<br />

perimeter or fence around a location and<br />

automatically send a notification when a visitor<br />

crosses the line. In the case of geotargeting, a<br />

business can extend traditional location-based apps<br />

and consumer check-ins to deliver a full range of<br />

geotargeted services via the mobile channel.<br />

Maximize throughput and<br />

enhance customer experience<br />

High-touch, Technologyenabled<br />

Device<br />

Enable businesses to arm their staff with embedded<br />

technology that facilitates proactive service<br />

interactions with the business’s staff members.<br />

Enhance customer experience<br />

Service Robotics<br />

Supplement a business’s human staff with robots<br />

capable of one-on-one interaction with customers,<br />

providing directions and resolving a customerservice<br />

issue.<br />

Enhance customer experience<br />

Augmented Reality<br />

Advances in connectivity speeds (5G) will enable new<br />

forms of virtual reality and holographic communication<br />

through 3-D and holographic displays to create virtual<br />

views of one’s surroundings.<br />

Maximize throughput<br />

Virtual Assistants<br />

Some businesses are taking digital signage to a new<br />

level with 3-D projection and holographic imaging.<br />

This technology solution enables a business to deploy<br />

a human-sized virtual assistant in strategic positions<br />

to deliver important messaging, branding information<br />

or other promotional information.<br />

Enhance customer experience<br />

Predictive Analytics<br />

Provides businesses with the ability to mine<br />

real-time data from operations, evaluate historical<br />

behavior, leverage machine learning, and analyze<br />

current and historical facts to make predictions<br />

about future, or otherwise unknown, events as<br />

well as leverage real-time data to automate existing<br />

manual processes.<br />

Maximize throughput<br />
