Дата: 21-08-19 12:02BLOG: ALL ABOUT DATADavid Gammie, CIO at Edinburgh Airport, explains how smart networks help to meet increasing passenger demands for connectivity while delivering 24/7 business critical operations. The data network is undoubtedly a key asset in any airport. It underpins everything from crucial day-to-day operations such as managing bag drops and security queues, to improving passenger experience, with optimised traffic flows and proactive management. Resilience Airport networks are subject to strict security and regulatory compliance frameworks and are highly visible. This places additional demands for high resilience on the airport network environment. Any forward-thinking airport can now leverage technology as an enabler for optimising and automating processes. To ensure we deliver the best possible passenger experience from start to finish we need to understand the passenger journey throughout the airport, identifying and planning for potential bottlenecks before they happen. Adapting to increased connectivity demands Given that data networks already play such a crucial role in the modern-day airport environment, it is vital that next generation networks are designed to adapt to future challenges. The growing number of connected devices is placing unprecedented demands on current airport networks. Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and ecosystems have multiple applications in airport operations, from tracking the locations of key assets, to tracking environmental factors like temperature or air quality. However, IoT technology also increases the volume of connected devices on an airport’s network, the volume of data the network needs to handle, and the dynamism with which devices are added, amended and removed. IoT requires airport networks to be more agile than ever before, rapidly configured and managed, while retaining watertight security. Airport networks are now challenged with an unpredictable demand, and solutions need to offer greater flexibility and automation within the network, especially when it comes to managing traffic flows, prioritising traffic and adding new devices, quickly and securely. • Handle the increased variety of data connections through IOT and provide granular security • Manage our growth through deploying change more rapidly • Improve management and resilience of the network infrastructure.
