The new IP-based, decentralized network was designed, installed and commissioned by local DAMM System Partner ALCON Engenharia.

DAMM’s communication solution for São Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport in Brazil—consisting of a fully redundant DAMM TetraFlex Indoor High Power 7 carrier system—secures passenger safety and improves efficiency. The network serves airline customers such as LATAM and Qatar Airways.

The DAMM TetraFlex system offers a secure and reliable voice and data system, which enables airports to efficiently respond to any potential danger. Offering features like DGNA (Dynamic Group Number Assignment) it is easy to create dynamic work groups used for APRON services such as luggage handling, jet fueling and catering.

The new IP-based, decentralized network was designed, installed and commissioned by local DAMM System Partner ALCON Engenharia. Gilberto Koza, CEO of Alcon states: “We have joined forces with DAMM to deliver the most secure, reliable and flexible solution. In addition the open API offers easy integration of 3rd party applications, like the Siemens Dispatcher solution, was key to the GRU Airport in Brazil.”

Kjeld Pharao, CEO of DAMM states: “DAMM and ALCON have proven a successful team in Brazil for a variety of industries including Airports, Municipalities as well as Mining. Working with a true expert in the field, Alcon has the know-how to create cost-efficient, tailor-made solutions to match the customers changing needs for mission critical voice and data.”
