"Air transport industry technology provider Sita has launched a high-speed fibre-optic service that delivers "ultra-reliable", scalable and secure connectivity that could soon bypass copper cables in complex airport environments. The firm believes that to date, bandwidth limitations, high latency and costly maintenance have meant platforms deployed at airports have sometimes fallen short. Technologically, the Sita passive optical network (PON)-enabled fibre infrastructure, optical network terminals and centralised network will collectively deliver "uninterrupted", high-bandwidth connectivity across crowded airports."
"The offering is intended to serve airports and airlines, maintenance, repair and overhaul, ground handlers, and other travel industry customers. Sita PON is engineered to extend beyond passenger terminal spaces, and the company sees offering long-distance coverage with its network as being able to transform telecommunications infrastructure across distant airport hangars, engineering facilities and storage areas, where extended distances and restricted environments make traditional cabling inefficient. Explicitly, the company regards existing copper wiring as often requiring repeaters or boosters, adding cost and complexity."
"By contrast, the Sita PON single fibre offering works across distances up to 20km (12+ miles) without the need for active equipment in-between - making it effective for data-heavy applications like HD video surveillance, smart kiosks, internet of things (IoT) devices and cloud services. The company's updated local area PON solution is being delivered in partnership with global networking solutions provider Tellabs and supplier of PON technology."
