What it takes to become a smart and connected airport
Airport requirements and services are constantly growing, increasing the demand for wireless communications, both landside and airside. A smart and connected airport is not only characterized by providing an excellent passenger experience through mobile services like 4G/5G, WiFi, or Bluetooth. Equally important is ensuring the flawless availability of critical communications (e.g., TETRA) to guarantee safety at all times. In addition, many other wireless services are essential — such as those related to air traffic control (ATC), dispatch, logistics, passenger flow control, autonomously operating baggage systems, and other IoT applications. All these radio technologies and services must be properly planned and implemented to ensure ubiquitous connectivity and reliable service availability.
LS telcom supports airports in identifying, selecting, and implementing the right radio technologies. We help manage the overall radio spectrum to proactively avoid interference and protect airport radio networks through 24/7 surveillance.

Long-Term Contract with Schiphol Airport
Read the full press release about our seven-year agreement with Schiphol Amsterdam Airport to deliver a future-proof spectrum management solution.
The challenge: Guaranteeing a safe, interference-free radio environment
The variety of spectrum services outweighs that of spectrum users which is complex to operate and manage. In addition, new radio services for IoT networks and 5G mobile communications will be introduced at airports increasing the demand on airport operators. There is a concrete need for efficient spectrum engineering and management in order to accommodate all required wireless services within the congested spectrum environment and limited geography as it is within the airport footprint.
The solution: Independent and integrated Smart Spectrum Solutions

One of our success stories...
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol commissioned LS telcom for frequency management & licensing to become a "Leading Smart Digital Airport".
The challenge
Ensuring a safe, interference- and incident free radio environment at the airport while providing enough radio frequencies for all radio networks, services and applications
required at the airport under the growing demand from all customers for wireless air and ground communication.
The solution
Development of a general licensing framework and introduction of an automated spectrum management system including a frequency database and radio monitoring capabilities accompanied by consulting and supporting professional services by LS telcom experts.
The result
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol now has full visibility of the used radio spectrum and infrastructure. They deliver their customers excellent, highly reliable, interference-free and save radio services at the airport. The airport can detect incidents, misuse and illegal frequency use and react immediately. This contributes to the general safety at Schiphol Airport and improves its overall positive passenger experience significantly.
