Project Overview |
| |
|
|
Business need:
|
The
airport faced to
construct a new terminal to provide highly effective and efficient
flight information with state-of-the-art technology to passengers that
increased quickly. So the airport turned to the world-known
Infologic FIDS system. |
| |
|
|
Solution: |
Infologic provided a
Unix/Linux-based solution which provides an active-hot standby redundant
system. The solution is not only highly reliable but also highly
flexible system. The system is still able to operate normally even when
the number of flights was more than doubled. The beauty of the system is
that it can be upgraded and expanded very easily. No major software
changes were required and minimal impact to the airport operations
during the upgrading exercise. The Infologic FIDS has a direct
interface to the airport AODB where all flight data are received. FIDS
in turn sends flight information to the airport Public Address System
which provide the airport with automatic flight information system. |

Benefits: |
A reliable system, yet
highly flexible. Also, by integrating, automating and personalizing the
flow of flight information, the Infologic FIDS helped the airport
optimized its operations. |
