Tech Talk
Papua New Guinea’s National Airport Corporation has selected SITA AirportHub to boost connectivity at Port Moresby Jackson’s International airport.

SITA AirportHub is an airport-wide shared connectivity platform that enables Port Moresby airport to provide airlines, ground handlers and other tenants with a secure and reliable bandwidth, which includes wireless connectivity to access off-airport applications. This system is currently operational at more than 440 airports and provides 7,000 customer connections around the world.

SITA AirportHub at Port Moresby Airport is connected by dual international private circuits to Australia, ensuring secure international connectivity into SITA’s global network. This shared infrastructure solution enhances communications at the airport by greatly minimising the likelihood of network isolation. Port Moresby can now easily connect all of its applications and IT systems, with SITA AirportHub removing the complexity of dealing with local telecom providers and adding a degree of flexibility to route management.

Richard Yopo, Managing Director and CEO, National Airport Corporation, commented: “With a view to delivering greater connectivity to every user of Port Moresby Jackson’s International airport, National Airport Corporation is proud to become the world’s latest operator of SITA’s AirportHub IT system. This represents another significant step in the process of upgrading the airport’s capabilities and helping to attract more international and domestic services to Papua New Guinea’s major airport hub."
