SITA Passive Optical LAN (PON) infrastructure with Tellabs unveiled for ultra-reliable, scalable and secure connectivity across airport campuses and other critical operational areas
The increasing pressure to support data-intensive applications with real-time communication across sprawling airport infrastructure is now greater than ever before. But bandwidth limitations, high latency and costly maintenance mean that current platforms sometimes fall short.
Now a next-generation high-speed fiber-optic solution delivering ultra-reliable, scalable and secure connectivity could soon bypass copper cables within complex airport environments. The updated SITA PON solution is being delivered in partnership with Tellabs, a global provider of advanced networking solutions and an innovator of PON technology. It provides next-generation fiber-based infrastructure tailored for airports, airlines and ground handlers, with future-proofed network performance to support mission-critical systems, smart airport services and IoT deployments – all while reducing costs.
Martin Smillie, Senior Vice President for Communications and Data Exchange at SITA, said: “The increasing use of data-intensive applications in airports places a lot of pressure on existing platforms. They can struggle to deliver increasing capacity demands for operational needs across sprawling and complex airport infrastructure for mission-critical operations. SITA PON resolves capacity constraints for airports, airlines and ground handlers by delivering ultra-reliable, scalable and secure connectivity through high-speed fiber-optic infrastructure. (....)
