Huawei Debuts Smart Airport Platform, Integrating 30 Systems

Huawei unveiled five aviation solutions at the Passenger Terminal Expo 2025 in Madrid, aiming to advance smart airport development and improve operational efficiency. A standout announcement was the launch of the Smart Airport Intelligent Operation Center (IOC), an integrated platform that consolidates over 30 airport production systems, providing a real-time, holistic view of airport operations.

The IOC employs the Total Airport Management (TAM) concept to optimize airport operations. Powered by AI, it predicts aircraft stand movements, improves resource allocation, and enhances jet bridge docking rates. Huawei claims the system increases flight departure punctuality by 5% and boosts ground support efficiency. It also facilitates proactive disruption management, real-time monitoring, and heightened security capabilities.

"Moving forward, we will collaborate with more industry partners to create a new ecosystem for airport innovation. Together, we can streamline systems, maximize data potential, and enhance productivity in aviation," said Dr. Rachard Nassar, Director of Business & Strategic Partner, Huawei Smart Transportation.

Huawei’s perimeter security system leverages distributed fiber optic sensing and AI-driven detection algorithms to identify intrusions with high accuracy, even under adverse weather conditions. The solution significantly reduces false alarms, cutting instances from hundreds per day to fewer than one per kilometer daily.

Built on cloud, data, and AI, this platform ensures zero data loss through active-active cloud deployment, reducing recovery times from one hour to five minutes and achieving 99.99% availability. Huawei’s data governance framework delivers high-quality data for intelligent applications, while its AI component supports open models and engines, fostering innovation across the industry.

This solution features a robust communication infrastructure incorporating Wi-Fi 7 technology, which enhances VIP passenger bandwidth by 20%. Huawei’s Wi-Fi Shield safeguards air transmission data with noise superposition technology, automatically blocking unauthorized access within 30 seconds, ensuring stability and mitigating terminal access risks.

Based on IP and Passive Optical LAN (POL) technology, Huawei introduced the OptiXstar P892M, the first 10G M45 panel-type Optical Network Unit (ONU) designed for airports. It supports versatile installation modes and consolidates services like voice, Wi-Fi, and HD video over a single optical fiber.
