Hong Kong International Airport Selects Motorola’s TETRA Digital Radio System
Motorola has announced that the Hong Kong Airport Authority has selected Motorola’s TETRA digital radio system for Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA).
HKIA serves more than 47 million passengers a year and is one of the busiest aviation and logistic hubs in Asia and the world. The new TETRA system will enhance the efficiency of radio communications for airport operations at HKIA.
HKIA is experiencing rapid growth in passenger and cargo traffic, which corresponds to a need for more user capacity in its airport communications system. To meet rising requirements, the Hong Kong Airport Authority has decided to upgrade its existing analogue system to Motorola’s Dimetra IP system, the latest in TETRA technology that will provide HKIA with more efficient and failsafe radio communications.
Motorola Dimetra IP is an enhanced IP-based TETRA solution that is highly flexible and scalable and is able to support voice, messaging, and mobile applications—including remote access to information databases and image transmission—over a single network. Through just one system, HKIA will be able to provide seamless communications and full interoperability across users in airport operations such as airport security, operations maintenance, baggage handling and other ground handling services.
Phey Teck Moh, vice president, Motorola Government and Public Safety, Asia Pacific, Enterprise Mobility Solutions said, “Airport operators worldwide are looking for efficient and failsafe communications to improve operating efficiency and ensure passenger safety and security standards. We are pleased that the Hong Kong International Airport has selected Motorola as the provider of TETRA radio communications solutions. It reflects the growing demand for Motorola TETRA solutions in the industrial, commercial and transportation markets.”
More than 80 airports, including many of the busiest airports worldwide, have used Motorola’s radio communications solutions specially tailored for the airport environment. In Asia, major airports such as the new Bangkok International Airport (Suvarnabhumi) in Thailand, Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia and more than 20 airports in China are using Motorola radio communications solutions.
In Hong Kong, Motorola has implemented other TETRA systems in various industries including rail, seaports and the government. Through cutting edge IP-based solutions Motorola is leading the development and deployment of interoperable, scalable TETRA solutions that seamlessly connect people, assets and information to grow businesses, and increase efficiency and customer satisfaction.
