For airport authorities and operators, the airport is not just infrastructure—it is a 24×7 operational ecosystem where safety, punctuality, and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable. Any breakdown in communication directly impacts flight schedules, passenger experience, and emergency response.

Airports operate with multiple communication systems running in parallel. Airside teams rely on TETRA or VHF for safety-critical operations, terminal and facility teams use Wi-Fi or public cellular, while security and surveillance often run on separate, standalone systems. This multi-system reality is unavoidable—but when these systems operate in silos, airport authorities lose real-time coordination and situational awareness, especially during disruptions, emergencies, or peak traffic.

MCX ONE provides airport operators with a single, unified mission-critical platform that brings people, systems, and operations together—without forcing a disruptive replacement of existing infrastructure and providing the MCX-based next generation critical communication platform working on broadband 4G/ 5G.

Airports—whether existing or newly built—operate in highly dynamic, safety-critical environments where communication must be reliable, scalable and future-ready.

Airport authorities require a solution that can:

• ✔Unify multiple communication systems such as TETRA, VHF, Wi-Fi, and public/private cellular into one operational environment
• ✔Ensure uninterrupted mission-critical communication, especially for airside and emergency operations
• ✔Support phased modernization, allowing broadband services to be introduced without disrupting existing narrowband systems
• ✔Enable broadband-first operations for new airports, with mission-critical performance from day one
• ✔Provide centralized visibility across voice, video, location, and operational data
• ✔Scale with airport growth, new terminals, higher traffic volumes, and evolving regulatory needs

Airports need a platform that supports today’s operational realities while enabling a smooth transition to broadband-centric, private 4G/5G-based operations withoutcompromise.

MCX ONE is a mission-critical communication and operations platform designed to address the complex realities of airport environments—where multiple communication systems must coexist, modernization must happen without disruption, and broadband is becoming central to future operations.

Unified Communication with Phased Migration

MCX ONE acts as a single integration layer across all airport communication systems, ensuring continuity while enabling modernization.

• ✔Unifies TETRA, VHF/UHF, Wi-Fi, Public 4G/5G, and Private 4G/5G into one platform
• ✔Allows narrowband and broadband users to communicate seamlessly
• ✔Enables phased migration to broadband, without replacing existing mission-critical systems
• ✔Ensures zero communication break during transition
• ✔Protects investments in existing radio networks and control rooms

More than Just Push-to-Talk

When deployed over private 4G/5G, MCX ONE becomes the core digital communication layer for airports.

• ✔Mission-critical Push-to-Talk, Push-to-Video, and Push-to-Data
• ✔High-bandwidth communication for voice, video, and operational data
• ✔Deterministic performance and enhanced security on private networks
• ✔Reliable indoor and campus-wide coverage across terminals, basements, and airside

Beyond Communication - Integrated Airport Operations Platform

MCX ONE extends beyond communication to deliver integrated operations, safety, and situational awareness for airports.

• ✔Airport-specific Omni Command control room for unified dispatch and coordination
• ✔Advanced location services with live location tracking, geo-fencing, location-based calling, zone-based alerts, etc for secure premises
• ✔Man-down and lone-worker protection for field and maintenance staff
• ✔Integration with airport subsystems such as: CCTV and Video Management Systems; Alarm and emergency systems; Public address system
• ✔Unified view of communication, video, alarms, and events in the control room
• ✔Call, video, and event recording for audits, compliance, and investigations
• ✔Task and incident management to improve response times and aircraft turnaround
• ✔Centralized user and device management across all devices
