Mission-Critical Airport Hardware

Unified Control for Critical Airport Operations

Twenty years of airport deployments taught us that hardware failure during critical moments isn't an option. When thousands of passengers depend on accurate information, your equipment must perform flawlessly. Simpleway's battle-tested hardware ecosystem combines nnounce audio devices with digital signage controllers, creating a unified communication infrastructure built from real airport experience - from routine gate operations to full-terminal evacuations.

Mission-Critical Amplification

Amplifiers for Every Airport Need

In airports, amplifier failure isn't an option. From routine gate announcements to emergency evacuations, your amplification must maintain intelligibility across vast terminal spaces, through multiple zones, and during peak traffic periods. Our amplifiers feature redundant power supplies, automatic failover capabilities, and spare channel switching - designed for 24/7 airport operations where 99.9% uptime is the minimum acceptable standard.

Multimodal Paging

Ideal for Gates and More

Managing boarding announcements while simultaneously updating FIDS displays requires specialized paging stations that understand airport workflows. Gate agents need to trigger multilingual announcements, update display states, and coordinate with AODB systems - all from one touchpoint. These devices eliminate the disconnect between what passengers hear and what they see on screens.
