Aviation

Airport MPLS/SD-WAN with IATA CUTE/CUPPS, managed Wi-Fi with staff/guest/POS segmentation, and 24x7 SOC-backed security.

Why Aviation chooses Clevertek

An airport operates as a 24x7 critical infrastructure environment where a network outage does not generate an IT ticket — it generates a delayed departure, a stranded passenger connection, a missed slot that cascades across the airline's entire daily schedule. The same network infrastructure that carries passenger Wi-Fi and check-in queues also carries the operational systems that keep aircraft moving, baggage handling running, and perimeter security active — all of which must remain available through peak-season loads and concurrent weather-related disruptions. Clevertek gives aviation one operating model across the airport, the airline, and the passenger: private MPLS and SD-WAN between terminals, operations centres, and remote sites with deterministic failover, IoT connectivity that feeds baggage system and ground equipment telemetry into operations platforms via API, managed Wi-Fi that separates passenger, staff, and operational traffic on distinct SSIDs/VLANs so a guest streaming video never contends with check-in processing, and a 24x7 SOC that monitors the airport's expanded perimeter. A single link failure or terminal connectivity issue is routed around before it becomes a flight delay, because availability in aviation is measured in on-time departure metrics rather than network uptime percentages.

How Clevertek helps Aviation on its journey

An airport never closes, and a flight does not wait for the network to recover. When connectivity between terminals, the operations centre, and the gate fails, the cost is a delayed departure and a stranded passenger — not a network-ticket SLA. Aviation infrastructure must deliver availability as the primary design objective.

We give aviation one operating model: private MPLS and SD-WAN between terminals, operations centres, and remote sites with deterministic failover, IoT connectivity that feeds baggage and ground equipment telemetry into your operations systems, managed Wi-Fi that segregates passenger, staff, and operational traffic on a shared infrastructure, and a 24x7 SOC providing continuous perimeter monitoring.

A dropped link does not become a delayed flight. Diverse physical paths and automatic failover route around the failure, and our NOC is already monitoring before the aircraft operations team is aware an event occurred. Multiple terminals and regional sites operate under one managed model with consistent visibility.

Frequently asked questions

How do you keep the airport network up through peak season and outages?

Private MPLS and SD-WAN between terminals, the operations centre, and gate areas provide diverse, resilient paths with automatic failover. A single link or site failure routes around itself automatically, and departures continue without waiting on a circuit restored during the worst operational hour.

Can passenger, staff and POS Wi-Fi share one network safely?

Yes. Managed Wi-Fi separates passenger, staff, and operational traffic onto distinct SSIDs and VLANs on a single access-point infrastructure. A passenger on the guest network cannot reach the check-in system or the operations backend, and critical traffic never contends with guest streaming activity.

How do your IoT solutions help baggage and ground operations?

IoT connectivity carries location and telemetry data from baggage handling systems, ground equipment, and terminal sensors into your operations platform via API integration. Inbound and outbound asset movements are tracked live rather than reconciled after the flight has already departed.

What about security across such a large, open environment?

Managed detection and response provides 24x7 SOC coverage across the airport's network edge and endpoints. A compromised access point, workstation, or IoT sensor is detected and contained before it escalates into an incident — security sized for an environment whose perimeter was designed for passenger flow rather than access control.

Can this connect multiple terminals and regional sites?

Yes. The same managed operating model extends across terminals, operations buildings, and regional sites with one operational team. A new gate area or secondary field comes online as a configuration change rather than a full engineering deployment.
