Advance IT systems ready at Suvarnabhumi Airport

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

Suvarnabhumi Airport has already laid claim to many superlatives – it has the tallest flight control tower in Asia and the world’s largest passenger terminal – but it also boasts a number of superlatives in terms of technology.

The Cargo Free Zone is the largest RFID implementation in the region and in terms of data storage, the Airport Information Systems and security systems together are the largest storage deployment that the local branch of EMC Thailand has provided.

Suvarnabhumi will also be the first place in Thailand where WCDMA 2100 MHz 3G antennas have been installed – years ahead of the formal introduction of 3G to this country.
