Solving for safer airport and airline operations
Airports are complex hubs that must prioritise safety and security. Our technology ecosystem provides communication and video solutions to meet these needs and boost efficiency and the passenger experience.
Transforming the way airports and airlines operate
with advanced technology
Today's airports face many challenges in ensuring the safety and efficiency of their operations while providing a positive passenger experience. At Motorola Solutions our voice, video, data, and analytical solutions help overcome these challenges and work with you to accomplish smooth everyday operations and help identify and respond to threats and security breaches.
Boosting operational efficiency
Partnering with airlines and service providers boosts efficiency. To achieve optimal coordination airports need streamlined communication across networks, extending beyond their premises.
Strengthening security
Airports need strong security for perimeters, airfields, and public areas, using multilayered systems to address risks in any weather.
Improving passenger experience
Efficient passenger services are vital, optimising processes like ticketing, baggage handling, screening and transportation from check-in to take off result in a seamless travel experience.
Airport safety and security technology in action
From passenger check-in to take-off, airports face numerous safety and security challenges. Motorola Solutions' integrated solutions help empower airports to enhance efficiencies by providing real-time situational awareness to ground crews, and ensuring seamless communication across teams. Explore how our voice, video and AI analytics solutions can help you.
Perimeter security
Vast perimeters, poor visibility, and remote locations make airport security challenging. Breaches cause major disruptions, highlighting the importance of video surveillance.
Ultra long range (EO) cameras
Silent Sentinel heavy duty cameras provide very-long-range surveillance for airport perimeter security. Featuring cooled/uncooled thermal & video PTZ cameras in a single device, they detect humans up to 24 km and vehicles upto 30 km away even in fog or haze providing security personnel with live feeds and alert notifications to respond promptly to potential threats.
Learn morePerimeter Defense with AI
Avigilon thermal and visual cameras provide superior perimeter security. Long range allow you to see far and wide in vast areas, while built-in advanced AI video analytics proactively detect unusual activities such as intrusions. Access control adds another layer of defense, ensuring comprehensive airport perimeter protection.
Learn moreRuggedised IS-certified cameras
The open platform Pelco cameras easily integrates with existing VMS and other systems such as sensors, providing a unified security solution. Ruggedized IS-certified cameras equipped with AI analytics ensure reliable operation in harsh environments, safeguarding airport perimeters effectively.
Learn moreReal-time communication
Motorola Solutions' two-way radios allow airport security teams to effectively monitor and respond to perimeter threats. Constant communication ensures real-time coordination between patrols, checkpoints, and control centres. If a breach is detected, radios enable immediate alerts, precise location sharing, and swift deployment of resources, maximising airport safety.
Learn moreRunway and taxiway surveillance
Ensure your control centre has a clear view of runways and taxiways - where even minor flaws can become catastrophic - and enable them to make swift, informed decisions.
60 frame per second camera
Pelco cameras enhance runway/taxiway safety with continuous surveillance of aircraft movements, ground operations, and potential hazards. The Sarix Enhanced 4 series pairs with existing VMS and captures up to 60 frames per second with reduced motion blur of the fast-moving aircraft, giving security personnel the ability to respond to every subtlety of movement.
Learn more61MP ultra high res camera
Avigilon H5 Pro's 61MP ultra-high resolution captures every detail of runways and taxiways. Even in low light, its advanced capabilities ensure clear surveillance of aircraft movements, ground operations, and potential hazards. Optimise your airport security with fewer cameras while maintaining exceptional situational awareness for swift response to safety concerns.
Learn more360° from a single vantage point
Protect your airport with Pelco’s Spectra Enhanced IR Look Up 7 Series PTZ. With 360° views, long-range detail, and the ability to see above the horizon blind spots are eliminated. In addition, its built-in wiper and IR illumination ensure clear vision in any weather and smart analytics provide fast threat detection.
Learn moreRestricted area access
Prevent unauthorised access to sensitive airport areas where a security breach can lead to major disruptions and lockdowns.
Access & unusual activity alerts
Enhance airport security by integrating video, access control, and AI. Verify alarms with video, locate unauthorised individuals, detect unusual activity and use facial recognition for faster alerts & response times. With Avigilon Unity Access you can scale up to thousands of users whilst Unity Access 7 allows you to connect up to 4,000 doors to a single appliance.
Learn moreMonitor restricted areas
Multisensor cameras with superior 180, 270 or 360-degree views allows monitoring of restricted airport areas from all angles. Combined with advanced analytics, and seamless integration capabilities, security personnel are able to detect unauthorised access, identify potential threats, and respond swiftly, helping to improve overall security in sensitive airport zones.
Learn moreAuthorised vehicle access with LPR
Avigilon License Plate Recognition (LPR) solutions streamline airport access control and parking management. Monitor vehicle access, enforce parking regulations, and enhance security in restricted zones, ensuring efficient operations and a safe environment.
Learn moreGround handler safety
Put measures in place to help optimise ground handler safety as they navigate moving aircraft and vehicles in the busy, noisy and often hazardous environment of the apron.
Hear Clearly, Work Safely on the Apron
The apron is a challenging environment. Clear communication is essential for ground crews to coordinate tasks, avoid hazards and ensure safety. Motorola Solutions rugged two-way radios offer superior audio clarity, shift-long battery life and advanced noise reduction technology, so your teams can hear and be heard, even amidst the roar of aircraft engines.
Learn moreConnectivity throughout your Apron
Our critical communications systems enable ground workers to communicate with TETRA, P25 or DMR two-way radio systems that provide reliable coverage and outstanding range in the apron and other airport zones of operations.
Learn moreCommunications beyond airport confines
Extend airport communications beyond your boundaries. Connect seamlessly across multimedia channels with airlines, cargo, catering, and government agencies for smooth operations.
Extended Airport Communications
WAVE PTX integrates with airport systems, extending mission-critical PTT/PTToC beyond the premises. This enables multimedia collaboration with external partners like airlines and public transport, enhancing situational awareness. Scalable, WAVE PTX suits organisations of all sizes, facilitating seamless communication across the wider airport ecosystem.
