Aruba Wlan配备了ClearPass和Airwave，以及Aruba使用Aruba信标和子午线驱动的移动应用程序的移动参与解决方案，可改善奥兰多国际公司的运营和旅行者体验。
我们的Aruba Wlan以及我们的Aruba移动参与解决方案对机场运营和改善旅行者体验至关重要。
约翰·纽瑟姆（John Newsome），大奥兰多航空管理局信息技术总监
约翰·纽瑟姆（John Newsome）的重中之重之一是确保3500万年度旅行者，18,000名员工，近40名航空公司以及100多名食品，饮料和零售租户可以使用高质量的无线访问商务，运营和个人需求，这是John Newsome的首要任务之一。
“Although air travelers expect very robust airport Wi-Fi experiences, satisfying that demand is only one driver for us,” says Newsome, Director of Information Technology at the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA), the governing body for the Orlando International Airport (MCO).
“Our primary wireless networking imperative is to provide operational support,” he explains. “This includes airport, airline and other tenant operations, as our infrastructure is important to all.”
Like all world-class aviation facilities, MCO is at the forefront of each new wave of Wi-Fi devices and standards, such as 802.11ac.
“Due to the many challenges and demands, the requisite reliability, security, scalability and performance of our enterprise WLAN is essential,” Newsome says. “Plus, we need leading-edge capabilities to develop and offer innovativemobile apps that benefit travelers, airlines, vendors and the airport.”
阿鲁巴802.11ac WLAN and Mobile Engagement Solution Boost Mobility
To meet current needs and prepare for even greater future mobile dependency, the GOAA decided to upgrade its wireless infrastructure. This included moving to Gigabit Wi-Fi infrastructure and introducing an advanced new MCO Mobile App with real-time traveler assistance.
Newsome说：“因为我们是美国排名第一的家庭目的地，也是美国第二大会议中心，所以我们有很多游客。”“我们的新应用有助于改善所有类型的旅行体验。”
The airport, which generates $26 billion in direct and indirect revenue for the regional economy, continues to extend and develop its wireless infrastructure to meet the needs of its #GenMobile constituency. #GenMobile are the new breed of technology users defined by their strong preference for mobility.
ClientMatch Intelligence Enables Seamless Hand-offs
对于WLAN基础架构，果阿选择部署802.11Acenable阿鲁巴APs, with the built-in intelligence ClientMatch. This technology continuously gathers session performance metrics from mobile devices to steer each device to the closest and best possible AP, enabling seamless transitions throughout the enabled buildings.
“With people moving throughout our very large venue, the hand-offs from one access point to another need to be very smooth and non-disruptive,” says Newsome, of the airport’s 13,000-acre facility, including a terminal complex of 150,000 square feet.
Beacons and Meridian Deliver Real-Time Indoor Navigation
使用Aruba的子午线移动应用程序平台, Orlando International developed its location-aware MCO Mobile App. To power the app’s location awareness, the airport has deployed at total of about 900阿鲁巴信标，它利用蓝牙低能（BLE）技术进行室内定位，并计划增加该数字。
子午线应用程序逐回路说明
Introduced in December to aid holiday travel, the airport’s new mobile app provides location-aware navigation to assist travelers with finding their gate and services close to them.
Newsome说：“我们的新应用程序可以帮助人们找到从ATM机到喷泉的所有东西。”“在用户允许位置可见性之后，该应用将标识个人的位置，然后在应用程序地图接口上显示路由。不仅如此，而且屏幕上的蓝点可以追踪道路，提供了转弯的指示，以帮助一个人到达那里。”
该应用程序还为所有航空公司提供飞行状态，就像在传统的机场招牌上一样，以及展示餐饮，购物和住宿等设施。
As expected, Newsome reports app adoption has been strong. “About 2,600 passengers downloaded the app within the first few weeks of deployment,” he says.
Airport Combines Airwave and Clearpass for Performance and Security
Other critical Aruba technologies deployed at Orlando International include vendor-agnostic wireless management tools. These includedAirWave网络管理，以优化性能以及ClearPass政策管理, for the robust security features of a wired network in a wireless environment.
Airwave改善WLAN优化，同时降低运营成本
借助Airwave，Newsome的团队获得了机场WLAN上每个AP的地图呈现，该展示介绍了粒状，实时和历史信息，以确保整体网络健康，同时最大程度地减少运营成本。
支持阿鲁巴的机动性对于现代运营至关重要
尽管奥兰多国际公司的新型子午线应用程序为访客提供了帮助，但Newsome解释了果阿的Aruba WLAN如何与现代机场和租户运营不可或缺。“例如，果阿行动人员使用Wi-Fi
他说。”
Newsome补充说：“进一步，正在进行开发，以使我们的维护人员能够使用Wi-Fi连接的平板电脑来审查工作单，报告工作订单状态和访问说明手册。”
机场租户还依靠Aruba Wi-Fi Newsome，还指出，机场提供了安全，高可用性的Aruba Wireless网络。他说：“一个例子是航空公司使用Wi-Fi在坡道区域外部进行行李和解。”“另一个是使用平板电脑的门代理协助与签到过程保持一致的人。”
According to Newsome, each of these illustrations shows how the airport and its tenants depend on secure, reliable Wi-Fi access. “Our WLAN helps improve processes, save time and make travel experiences better,” he says.
阿鲁巴基础设施将运输计划带入未来
阿鲁巴Wi-Fi also supports future GOAA plans, such as extending the WLAN to cover a train station and major parking facility the agency is building.
Once the new facilities are completed and operational, Orlando International’s mobile app will become even more vital, he adds. “It will help answer people’s questions, link them with information services and provide them with a positive travel experience,” Newsome says.
信标也将发挥关键作用。Newsome承认：“我认为我们只是为如何使用它们而刮擦表面。”“例如，具有振动或温度传感器的灯塔可以集成到一块机电设备中，并在异常操作或趋势的情况下提供警报。”
Robust Wi-Fi Now Critical to Aviation Ground Services
For others considering a Wi-Fi modernization, Newsome offers a few tips. “Design and build a very robust extension of your wired infrastructure,” he suggests. “Provide for growth, security and reliability. Over such a wireless network, you can operate whatever kind of services your organization needs.”
