EADS digital platforms for airport applications
EADS digital radio platforms tailored for airport solutions
EADS Digital Radio platforms provide field proven and future proof solutions to airport applications.
Frequency Assignment
EADS digital platforms may be deployed in the current PMR bands in use around the world.
Frequency Efficiency
In systems where the number of available frequencies is restricted, both TETRA and TETRAPOL solution are spectrum efficient. In addition the Simulcast solution can save additional frequencies.
Flight Number Dialling
Both digital platforms support Flight Number Orientated Dialling. This feature enables the ground handling organisation to communicate by simply dialling the flight number enabling a crew to be contacted quickly and efficiently during the turn-around of an aircraft on the ground.
Tower Communication (Safe Call)
In the sensitive areas of an airport, for example around the taxiway and runways, Tower will require immediate communications with all personnel deployed in these areas. EADS Digital Platforms can provide solutions ensuring that Tower can use a call with the highest priority in the system, using pre-emption, late-entry and in some cases, go- to-channel requests sent on the traffic channels.
Migration
EADS has over the years gained significant experience in the process of seamless migration from Analogue Legacy systems to its range of digital platforms.
Tailored Solutions
EADS prides itself in its ability to pro-actively promote customer tailored solutions to enhance an individual airports operations and requirements.
Virtual Private Networks are the key.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) solution is vital to airports while at the same time, deploying all the airports operational users onto a single radio platform. This provides complete VPN services to organizations while at the same time in the event of an emergency, should the entire airport use the same radio platform, emergency announcements can be made system wide ensuring immediate notification to all ground handling personnel and security organizations at the airport
Special features for special requirements
Accurate positioning in real time is a valuable application when different vehicles share the tarmac with aircraft. For example, equipping de-icing vehicles with terminal either integrated with or connected to GPS positioning equipment means their position is always known.
