ZDNet quoted Melbourne Airport IT and business systems manager Paul Bunker as saying: "Throughout the tender process, the Frame Group produced innovative and seamless solutions that we believe will deliver a more intuitive and reliable technology environment for Melbourne Airport and for our passengers."

Frame has previously worked on planning, designing and rolling out extensive ICT infrastructure for the airport. In addition to Melbourne Airport, the company also works with airports in Sydney, Perth and Cleveland in the US.

Frame sales and marketing general manager Roger Barlow said: "Airports have traditionally been a little bit ad hoc in their approach.

"What we are looking to do is bring more strategic and consolidated planning in how they setup their IT operations."
