Air Traffic / Airports

Real-time data distribution from take off to landing

When Decisions Matter

Airports operate several different control centers which are manned 24/7 throughout the year and are critical to airport operations. In addition to Air Traffic Control towers, these include control rooms for Apron Control Centers that analyze, process and coordinate central flight information for ground and airport surface traffic control.

KVM technology allows operators to perform their tasks at specially designed workstations
with high-speed data transmission and full computer access.

INFORMATION IS ESSENTIAL TO FLIGHT OPERATIONS

Airport operators and flight controllers rely on accurate and up-to-date information to make sure passengers reach their flights on time
and ensure aircraft move safely around the skies.

The air traffic industry today is also faced with the challenge of improving operational efficiency whilst remaining within budgetary
constraints and without compromising safety.

Accurate information flow is crucial to the smooth running of aircraft operations. That data must arrive without delay, error or corruption; continuously and with total reliability.

KVM SOLUTIONS FOR AIRPORTS AND AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL

IHSE’s high performance KVM extenders and matrix switches bring new levels of functionality and capability to air traff ic and airport operations.

IHSE systems deliver critical data to control towers, aid ground and air personnel training, assist with baggage handling and inform passengers through terminal information and signage.

All with multiple-levels of system redundancy, back-up and failsafe operation to ensure continuous, mission-critical operation.
