According to the data of Kampichler, Eier, Liberal, airport managers are facing industry growth that is out of step with their way of doing business. In this regard, many of them are considering more technological methods of airport communications between employees to speed up processes and find an opportunity to compare different teams with different support. Researchers agree that LTE is the future of airport communication, as this technology is universal and allows switching between devices quickly and much cheaper than radio communication.

At TASSTA, we are developing solutions for LTE as well and plan to improve in favor of faster airport communications regardless of mission conditions.

In a large study by Chen and Ramakrishnan, the authors explore the topic of communication mechanisms in critical situations, when every second of delay can lead to the discord of the entire system and operation. According to them, most missions critically suffer because push-to-talk systems aren’t designed to transfer messages conveniently, as the interlocutors have to wait for each other all the time. In this regard, the researchers argue that mission-critical devices should be equipped with additional features so that the interlocutors can transmit more information in a short time.

At TASSTA, we share this opinion, which is why we add the ability to send photos, videos, texts, and other formats that speed up communication between colleagues and build team processes to our ecosystem.
