There are over 70 IT based systems installed in a new, large international Airport

Many of these airports have complex data networks and associated Gigabit Backbone Network, Operational Database and an Information Broker.

We will be discussing these systems, showing examples and providing technical narratives about them on this site.

Having more than 40 Airport Systems experience, I am glad to share my knowledge with all of you involved in this very exciting industry.

I will be preparing some interesting technical articles on Aiport Systems. If you are interested in some specific topic please let me know.
