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.
