King Khalid International Airport (KKIA), Muscat International Airport & Salalah International Airport in the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council), are now using DAMM’s intelligent, decentralised TetraFlex system to secure their critical radio communications.
King Khalid International Airport (KKIA), located north of Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, is one of the world’s largest airports, serving 18.58 million passengers in 2013, and the airport is currently being expanded to increase its capacity to 35 million passengers a year. KKIA’s radio communication system provides full coverage and includes redundant DAMM TetraFlex high power indoor base stations.
The Muscat International and Salalah International Airports will be the new gateway to the Sultanate of Oman. The new Salalah International Airport will able to handle one million passengers per annum and the new Muscat International Airport will have the capacity to handle 12 million passengers per annum. Further expansions planned in three subsequent phases will boost the airport’s capacity to 24, 36 and 48 million passengers as demand increases.
The DAMM TetraFlex deliveries include multisite redundant high power indoor base stations. The system’s built-in applications include a voice and data log system, a group bridge to interconnect TETRA and analogue radio systems, and an open API that allows the easy integration of any applications that have been customised to meet the airports’ specific requirements.
“For both Muscat and KKIA the key factors for choosing DAMM were a successful evaluation and analysis of the customer requirements, as well as the easy integration of 3rd party applications,” said Allan Detlefsen, DAMM’s CCO. “With these two airports and more projects already won in named GCC countries, DAMM, along with our regional partner Waves, is proud of these achievements setting yet another milestone in the region as the leader of future proof mission critical radio communication systems”
