Rockwell Collins announced recently that it had completed the expansion of the company's ARINC Common Use Passenger Processing Systems (CUPPS) and Common Use Self Service (CUSS) solutions at the major East African hub airport of Jomo Kenyatta International airport in Nairobi, Kenya. The contract award represents Rockwell Collins' first major CUPPS installation in sub-Saharan Africa.
Having installed its passenger processing solutions into three of the airport terminals, Rockwell Collins has expanded coverage with an additional 64 CUPPS compliant ARINC vMUSE common use passenger processing workstations and 16 common use self-service CUSS check-in kiosks into the newly opened T1A terminal, bringing the combined totals at the airport to 181 CUPPS and 68 CUSS units. The installation of the CUSS self-service kiosks represents a new facility for travellers passing through the airport.
The company has also designed and built an on-site core room and Local Area Network, as well as a new and back-up power supply system, ensuring that there is no single point of failure within the airport's power supply network.
