As the cornerstone of airports’ intelligent and digital transformation, the company provides advanced smart services for airports showcased at the Airport Innovates Exhibition in Oman.
Huawei launched a series of brand-new smart airport solutions for international markets, during the first Airports Innovate Exhibition, which took place last week in Muscat, Oman. The solutions included the Fully Connected fiber Network Solution and Smart Airport Perimeter Security with Fiber Sensing Solution. Huawei also showcased its Airport Cloud and panoramic smart airport solutions.
“Airports of the future will be expected to deliver ultra-reliable connectivity in all areas, providing a seamless travel experience for passengers. This places higher demands on airport networks which Huawei’s systems can support,” said Nelson Huang, Vice President, Huawei’s Aviation & Rail Business Unit.
Relying on its edge in the Fixed 5G (F5G) sector, Huawei introduced “IP + optical” dual-technology convergence to its Fully Connected Fiber Network for the first time. It supports efficient access across multiple types of networks, creates dual planes — backbone 100G transmission and services, and helps build a highly reliable data center network, laying a solid foundation for smart airport construction.
The Fully Connected Fiber Network has many key advantages, such as the reliable bearer, which ensures multiple services do not interfere with each other, providing reliable transmission and the stable running of airport services. The network delivers wireless office and production with seamless network access anytime and anywhere, requires 60% fewer wired information points, makes video conferences smooth, and improves collaboration efficiency by 30%.
The simplified two-layer architecture of the Fully Connected Fiber Network delivers higher reliability, and the network management system facilitates rapid service planning and improves intelligent O&M efficiency. 85% of faults are self-healing and 95% of faults can be analyzed using big data, improving O&M efficiency by 68%.
Moussa Huang, Director of International Market Development of Huawei’s Aviation & Rail Business Unit, said, “The future airport cloud must be secure, reliable, and intelligent while supporting smooth evolution. Huawei Airport Cloud ensures active-active and reliable production services and facilitates rapid development of airport services through cloud-network-security integration.”
The Smart Airport Perimeter Security with Fiber Sensing Solution can accurately identify vibrations caused by wind and rain. It comprehensively detects perimeter intrusions in all weathers and covers long distances, ensuring zero missed alarms and reducing the number of false alarms to no more than one per kilometer each day.
