Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) in Jordan is deploying SITA interfaces across all IT and telecommunications services. SITA selected Zinwave’s distributed antenna system (DAS) for TETRA coverage in all areas within the airport, including the passenger and cargo terminals, all service corridors, apron facilities, car parks, bus stations and all underground facilities, such as the telecom and maintenance rooms.
Located 35 kilometers from the heart of the capital Amman, QAIA was first inaugurated in 1983 to become Jordan's key gateway to the world. The airport served 6.2 million passengers in 2012, in addition to providing air cargo and other aviation support services. In November 2007, Airport International Group (AIG), under the terms of the 25-year concession agreement became the Jordanian company responsible for the operation of QAIA, the rehabilitation of its old facilities, and the construction of the new passenger terminal. AIG's total capital commitment is US$850 million. The new terminal introduced state-of-the-art equipment, including the airport’s entire communications infrastructure. Zinwave’s simple design meant that SITA could discretely install the remote units around the terminal that make up the roofing structure, without impacting the building’s overall appearance, in line with the architects’ vision. The system’s cabling, primarily fiber optic, was also discretely incorporated into the building’s architecture without impacting its visual appearance. (中國(guó)集群通信網(wǎng) | 責(zé)任編輯：陳曉亮) |
