Air Transport Radio


Large hub airports present unique environments for radio systems.  For example:


B Consulting are experts in design, build and operation of complex airport radio systems.  We understand how to ensure multiple radio technologies and users co-exist and how to guarantee that relevant ICNIRP limits are not exceeded so that health and safety responsibilities can be discharged.


A major contractor for a new airport build project needed to ensure both ground based and ground to air radio systems would be suitable and effective, notwithstanding significant engineering and technical constraints.  Project deadlines meant that coverage predictions were needed before terminal construction was complete.  Our previous experience of a new terminal build at a major UK airport allowed us to deliver the required design with a high degree of confidence using a computer representation of the as-built airport.


A large multi-operator multi-technology radio system in a large hub airport was consistently failing to perform as required.  B Consulting identified an issue with uplink noise rise on RF over fibre components, which was marginally improved by balancing of links.  An offsite analysis of component performance (S12, S21) indicated that some remote fibre optic repeater equipment was not correctly specified, demonstrating how correct system design could ensure improved performance.
