Challenges & fixes

Passenger surges during delays overwhelm terminal WiFi

Passenger surges during delays overwhelm terminal WiFi

A single weather delay can strand thousands of extra passengers in a terminal at once, all reaching for WiFi to rebook flights or contact family, right when the network is least prepared for it.

  • OpenX Cloud capacity monitoring flags terminal-wide strain in real time
  • AAA/RADIUS-as-a-Service handles authentication spikes without slowing down
  • Zero-Touch Provisioning adds temporary capacity for high-traffic events
Ground operations systems can't be exposed to passenger network issues

Ground operations systems can't be exposed to passenger network issues

Baggage handling, gate systems, and ground operations traffic sharing infrastructure with passenger WiFi means a public network problem can ripple into operational delays.

  • OpenX AAA separates passenger WiFi from operational systems
  • OpenX Gateway prioritizes ground operations traffic automatically
  • OpenX Switch give PoE stability to gate and terminal infrastructure
