Digitalization at airports requires stable, secure, high-performing wireless networking
Ericsson, one of the leading providers of information and communication technology to service providers across the globe, will contribute a private 5G network for the Purdue Research Foundation to operate at the Purdue University Airport (LAF).
Saab will invest in this project by installing Aerobahn™, a platform that unlocks airport efficiency for airlines and ramp management; SAFE Event Management platforms, a security platform used in airport operation centers; and deploying ADS-B sensors to track aircraft.
Purdue will provide use of its airport as well as the “Lab to Life” testbed established throughout Discovery Park District at Purdue, a 400-acre, mixed-use development adjacent to the university’s campus.
