Gatwick Airport is one of the world’s busiest; indeed, it claims to be the world’s most efficient single-runway airport, delivering more than 45 million passengers and 97,000 metric tons of cargo each year, on 282,000 flights across 228 destinations in 74 countries. The HPE digital transformation means it is poised to become the “showpiece for airport IT,” according to HPE.
IoT sensors have been installed to monitor waste bins, check-in desks, table availability and even pond water levels. In addition, the Wi-Fi network offers download speeds of 30mbps, passenger flow can be monitored based on smart phone locations and heat maps, high definition CCTV and IPTV systems are available to security, and machine learning and facial recognition is available to gate staff.HPE and Gatwick describe the new enterprise network as “worthy of an internet service provider”, but the city analogy better describes its myriad functions. The Gatwick overhaul is reflective of the British government’s stated ‘industrial strategy’, which calls for upgrades to the UK’s digital infrastructure to bolster productivity in today’s hyper-competitive global marketplace.
