Omnitele Assists Finavia in Improving TETRA Network Quality

Due to recent construction changes and on-going construction expansions, Omnitele was assigned to validate the TETRA network quality in the airport. The audit project covered outdoor areas surrounding the runways, public terminal halls, indoor terminal building floors top to bottom, Airport Operations Center (APOC) and other operational areas.

As a deliverable of the project, Finavia management was provided with a comprehensive network quality analysis and recommendations for improving the TETRA network coverage and quality.

“For us, the TETRA network is both mission critical and business critical. By collaborating with Omnitele we can ensure that the network quality meets the highest end-user requirements,” comments Ilkka Hämäläinen, Data and Telecommunications Team Leader at Finavia.

“The Finavia audit project is an extremely interesting case. We get to employ our TETRA network design competence to positively impact the lives of the millions of passengers traveling through the airport yearly,” says Kim Molin, Sales Director at Omnitele Ltd.

Finavia operates 22 airports in Finland, and the success of Helsinki Airport is at the core of Finavia strategy. A properly working communications network is obviously a vital element of the winning formula. This is where TETRA network plays a viable role – it facilitates mission critical communication to over one hundred subscribers across the busy airport
