Day 2 - 15 March
Session: Technology: Systems & Operations

16:15 - 16:45 - Continuous ICT systems services during an airport’s relocation
Synopsis: An airport’s relocation from an old to a new facility requires there to be two sets of ICT systems for a short period, while the old one is operational and the new facility is up and running for trial period. Procurement and operations efforts for two sets of ICT systems might present a painful challenge. In this presentation, IAA and Liacom will introduce a concept and a case study in which one set of ICT systems supports flexible configurations: redundant system for either the old or the new facility; split configuration of non-redundant systems at each facility.

Audience will learn:

• Caring for a future-proof contract for ICT systems that are capable of adapting themselves to future airport relocation needs
• Selecting the appropriate trade-off between resiliency and versatility under changing circumstances
• Selecting the appropriate technology for relocating a highly site-specific ICT system from one facility to another
• Providing continuous operational services during an ICT system’s relocation
