CONCLUSION

Agenda

Airport background

• Inaugurated in 1985

• In 2013 granted to a consortium (Invepar and Airports Companies South Africa)

• Largest airport in Latin America located in São Paulo – Brazil.• 362 check-in counters

• 77 boarding gates ( 6 - F code)

• 24 x 7 airport for all terminals

• One of the main hubs in Latin America

• In 2018 GRU Airport handled 42.2 million passengers

GRU airport challenges

Several radio communication systems operating simultaneously

The multi-technology environment resulted in a high interference causing:

• Intermittent disruption

• Lack of coverage with several blind spots

• Repeaters were added to cover blind spots causing even more interference

Radio communication interference

GRU airport challenges

• No general communication in the airport, causing:

- Reactions to emergency situations were severely slowed down

- Evacuations were very difficult and almost impossible to carry out quickly

• Leakage of information

• Lack of redundancy in radio communication systems

• High maintenance costs (OPEX)

GRU airport challenges

Mission-critical and radio communication system with airport-wide coverage:

- capable of handling all communication inside the airport

- and ready for airport expansions and yearly growth in passenger movement
