Low current systems at the airport

Airports are unique environments. As a consequence, they require unique electrical installation solutions. As airports around the world become increasingly modernised, with sites like Changi Airport in Singapore and Dubai International Airport leading the way into the future, electrical installation in airports has become more complicated.

Of course, it’s also vital that the airport’s electrical supply does not interfere with the delicate operation of aeroplanes. Because of this, low current systems at the airport are becoming increasingly in demand. Low current systems function with a low current and extra low voltage.

A solution for signage

There’s no question that signage improves the customer’s journey around the airport, helping them to navigate and find important information. Anyone who has travelled through an airport will know that they have a vast amount of digital signage, particularly modern major international airports. Digital signage, and especially low current digital signage or a video wall, is known to be an environmentally friendly option. It saves on financial and energy expenditure, particularly at sites where large amounts of digital signage are needed, such as an airport.

Public address systems

Public Address & Voice Alarm Systems (PA/VA) are another essential part of the airport. PA/VA systems are vital for security and communication, making sure passengers get to their flights on time, and rapidly responding to problems. Much like digital signage, PA/VA systems are in near-constant use at airports, making low current systems an increasingly popular option. There are now a variety of low current PA/VA systems on the market, ranging from simple microphone and speaker set-ups through to sophisticated evacuation systems.

Enhanced fire safety

With so many people passing through the site every day, safety is paramount at any airport. A robust fire alarm system is an important part of the safety and security network. Low current fire alarm systems are becoming a common choice at airports, reducing consumption and costs but guaranteeing improved safety.

A fantastic benefit of a low current fire alarm system at the airport is that it can be integrated with other low current systems, either new or existing. For example, the fire alarm system can be linked to a mass evacuation system, encouraging a prompt and efficient evacuation in an emergency.

Secure car parking

Airports also demand rigorous car park management systems (CPMS) for the security of vehicles. Cars may be parked at the airport for a brief duration or an extended stay, and airports often boast expansive parking facilities. An efficient CPMS ensures that the facilities run smoothly and keeps vehicles safe. Low current management systems can be installed indoors or outdoors, as well as in multi-level parking structures. A low current system helps the CPMS to be more energy and cost-efficient, which is beneficial for another system that is required to operate continually.

Enhancing the passenger experience

It’s clear that low current systems at the airport can be used for a variety of functions that all serve to enhance the passenger’s experience. Through improved security, as well as clear communication and information, low current systems are an effective way for airports to modernise and aid passengers without consuming vast amounts of energy or affecting transport operations
