The Aptilo SMP is a carrier-grade system to manage and upgrade large-scale Wi-Fi. It can be accessed by visitors at each Swedavia airport terminal with a Wi-Fi login portal.
Currently, around 30,000 users access the internet using Swedavia’s airport Wi-Fi service daily.
Swedavia IT Platforms manager Pia Lundström said: “There has been zero downtime for 12 years with the Aptilo managed service. Aptilo makes operating Swedavia Wi-Fi across ten airports with multiple terminals simple.”
Swedavia expects the service to give it the opportunity to reach 40 million visitors each year, according to Lundström. The company operates ten airports, including Stockholm Arlanda Airport, Göteborg Landvetter Airport and Bromma Stockholm Airport in Sweden.
