Communications tech contract win with regional airport
Harrogate-headquartered Mobile Tornado says Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) has struck an agreement with one of the firm’s resellers to equip its workforce with the company’s own communications technology.
LBA will be using Mobile Tornado’s push-to-talk over cellular (PTToC) solutions to provide instant communications to improve safety, efficiency and productivity in complex daily operations.
The company adds it understands LBA is one of the first airports in Europe to upgrade its radio system to a PTToC platform.
The contract was won by Storm, a key reseller of Mobile Tornado technologies and is initially for 200 user licences.
Damian Ives, chief operating officer at LBA, said: “We are investing heavily in people and technology to make sure passengers have the best possible experience when travelling through Leeds Bradford Airport.
“Mobile Tornado’s world-leading technologies will help us manage operations and achieve our ambitions.
“As a regional airport, we plan our development with the local economy, environment and stakeholders in mind and we are happy to be working with Mobile Tornado, a local company with world-leading technology.”
Jeremy Fenn, chairman and acting CEO of Mobile Tornado, said: “This agreement with one of the UK’s busiest regional airports represents another big vote of confidence in our push-to-talk over cellular platform as an improved radio system for critical communications.
“As a Yorkshire company with a growing customer base in the UK and Europe, we are thrilled to be working with LBA and see airports as an important growth market for Mobile Tornado and Storm.”
