come from some of the world’s leading<br />

communications vendors – giving<br />

tech nology partners and third-party<br />

providers the opportunity to make<br />

comms and collaboration tools a central<br />

feature of digital airport services,<br />

not a disconnected afterthought.<br />

Intelligent airports – not<br />

just a vision, but a must<br />

To meet these challenges, airports<br />

need innovative solutions. Above all,<br />

existing infrastructures must be used<br />

more intelligently.<br />

Airport operators need to use IoT<br />

technology to make the most of their<br />

budget and resources, to manage<br />

rising volumes of travelers, meet the<br />

increasing demands of tech-savvy<br />

passengers and the needs of their<br />

commercial tenants.<br />

The need for real-time information<br />

exchange will see airports around<br />

the world adopt new technologies<br />

to support the desired free-flow<br />

of communications. This requires<br />

innovations that integrate smart<br />

devices and share information at every<br />

point of a passenger’s journey. The<br />

focus should be on enabling more<br />

and better communication between<br />

civil aviation stakeholders.<br />

Rolling out the right infrastructure<br />

calls for careful planning, an eye on<br />

future developments, and a securityfirst<br />

approach – from customer-facing<br />

services right down to providing the<br />

necessary hardware.<br />

The intelligent airport of tomorrow is<br />

more than a vision, it’s a must. With<br />

the right infrastructure, it has the<br />

potential to become a global reality.<br />
