The air transportation industry has experienced considerable turbulence in the past decade that has challenged airport communications technology and networks. The network capacity supporting airport communications has been stretched by a dramatic increase in voice, video and data traffic fueled by unprecedented security requirements, the growth in passenger traffic, and the transformation of airport terminals into centers of business and entertainment.
 
As the gatekeepers of air travel, airport authorities must supply airport communications solutions that serve security personnel, passengers, airlines and airport business tenants. To keep pace with changing realities, communications solutions for airport networks must be first-rate to ensure support for newer information technologies and efficient and reliable communications.
