Amongst the various systems,
solutions & offerings for
airports, which may not be
directly attributed to a
specific transportation process,
Siemens naturally offers a
wealth of information and
communication tools and
infrastructure.
Elementary for the entire
activity at any airport is of
course the acquisition,
generation, distribution and
storage of information of any
kind, which requires physical
networks.
These may be simple copper-based cable connections, wireless links, high
capacity fiber-optic backbones or even multi-protocol transmission networks, all
of which can be designed and installed by Siemens.
Other essential means of information distribution across the entire airport and
for almost any function are communication networks and devices such as
telephones connected to a switchboard (communication systems) or radios. Such
communication means may also be designed from the most simple installations to
sophisticated, fully digitalized networks with mobile handsets, allowing for
speech data convergence, TETRA trunk mobile radio environments and integrated
directory CTI (computer telephony integration) applications and complete
callcenters.
Once distribution of information is provided on the network, there must be
something to distribute. In order to avoid a chaotic situation of multiple,
differing data about the same thing, an AODB (Airport Operational Database) and
a common flight schedule is one of the minimum requirements of a modern airport,
managing the reception, maintenance and distribution of one common set of
operational information across the entire airport community – for the benefit of
all participants.
Financing, maintenance and even full or partial operation services for an
airport’s multitude of information and communication systems – irrespective of
place and purpose of installation – are offered by Siemens, providing defined
and low costs of ownership, high and quick returns on investment combined with
guaranteed quality and availability.
