Airbus hybrid tech for China's Jinan Airport

Airbus has been selected to provide China’s Jinan Airport with an array of mission-critical products and solutions to upgrade the existing Airbus TETRA system.

The technology will include a Taira TETRA Server, TB3 base stations, TH9 terminals and multiple Tactilon Agnet licences for smartphone users.

Jinan Airport staff members — from fuel personnel and firefighters to general operations end users — will be able to use the secure TETRA communications for airport-related services, such as luggage handling, shuttle bus logistics, equipment maintenance or refuelling.

Users will be able to connect to the system using their smartphones, enabling them to collaborate in a safe and efficient way, wherever they may be on the premises.

The technology will be implemented by the end of 2020.
