“In the future, Huawei will continue innovating and focus on developing ICT solutions that use cloud computing, mobile connectivity, IoT, and Big Data, helping customers achieve digital transformation and build future-oriented smart airports.”

Leveraging new ICT technologies, the new solution reconstructs airport information flows and offers benefits in the context of operating efficiency, operational safety, mobility, and the quality of services for passengers and enterprises.

The Smart Airport 2.0 Solution also delivers all-scenario designs that run through every step of an airport’s aircraft flow and passenger flow.

Huawei’s Smart Airport 2.0 Solution allows airports to deploy the smart allocation of aircraft stands, smart navigation lighting, and visualised ground handling, which aims to improve operating efficiency and reduce flight turnaround time.

Furthermore, the IoT-based smart navigation solution can monitor and control navigation lights in real-time and helps to slash manual inspection costs by over 10,000 hours per person annually.

Huawei’s Smart Airport 2.0 Solution provides airports with customised panoramic video surveillance and intelligent perimeter protection to ensure airport safety.
