​AIRPORT CONNECTIONS

Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, is Norway's largest and Scandinavia's second largest airport, handling 26 million passengers in 2016. The airport had an analog communication system in the air traffic control tower, and wished to upgrade to an IP system that would provide operational analytics and error reporting of critical communications, redundancy for high availability and reliability, and integrated operational, passenger, and emergency communications capabilities. The communication devices also needed to stand up to dynamic ranges of noise and—outside the terminal—a variety of weather conditions.

Zenitel had worked with the airport in the past, and stepped up to provide the updated system, including TMIS-1 Turbine Mini Intercoms that plug and play with the airport's IP telephone system, as well as TCIS-4 Turbine Intercom Stations to support intelligibility, interoperability, and reliability standards of the airport. Passengers and airport personnel can easily use the devices for communications. In emergencies, the system provides direct and clear notifications to all parts of the airport.
