Thales Portugal Signs Contracts with Madeira Airports Authority
The airports are using a combination of TETRA networks, advanced video surveillance and other dedicated functions with industry-leading subsystems developed by Thales partners.
Thales Portugal signed two contracts with the Madeira Airports Authority to supply the passenger information system and upgrade Madeira Airport’s data center using virtualization and cloud computing technologies.
The new passenger information system that will be implemented at Madeira Airport by the end of the year is an interactive solution incorporating digital public information. Earlier this year, Thales completed two other projects in Portugal as part of the Madeira airports modernization program:
• Upgrade of the data network to increase capacity and enhance resilience and security. This project involved convergence of services such as voice, data and closed circuit TV (CCTV) into a single network infrastructure.
• Upgrade of the voice network to incorporate VoIP technology and broadcast messages automatically at Madeira (Funchal) and Porto Santo airports.
Thales developed a wide range of systems to efficiently automate security processes and improve the mobility and connectivity of security staff. These systems combine fully distributed TETRA networks, advanced video surveillance and other dedicated functions with industry-leading subsystems developed by Thales partners.
