Challenge The new KLIA2 terminal is the largest LCC terminal in the region. It is 242,000 square meters in size and has 68 aircraft parking bays with a 300m long pedestrian skybridge where aircraft traffic underneath.
However things can change rapidly. Due to a weather problem or a small technical problem many more than originally planned passengers may end up queueing at the very same control hall. A hall that normally has short queues and quickly passing passengers is transformed to a very crowded place of people that spend several minutes standing and waiting for their turn and some seconds walking through the control.
Solution In order to support the growing traffic, the airport needed an enhancement on their communications infrastructure. The airport’s management team realized the biggest challenges of this project was the large coverage area and the network would be shared by hundreds of devices for ground services. The team approached a list of experienced WiFi products providers, and eventually, they have chosen Kiwire Wi-Fi Captive Portal solution to provide the network.
The deployment has been completed by Synchroweb's technical experts in a quick and professional manner. With the patented smart routers technology. Equipped with Mikrotik CCR1009-7G-1C-1S+ as a DHCP Server to serve IP to user and a main gateway for airport user.
Results The operational efficiency of the airport’s ground service has been highly improved. KLIA airport is totally amazed by performance of Kiwire Captive Portal Solution, as well as the quick deployment and cost-effectiveness.
With a highly improved network, the Synchroweb will continue to bring better services to its customers & our end users. Currently the Synchroweb is having discussions with WCT to deploy more devices in their other facilities.
