to provide unmatched audio experiences at T1A
Passengers and Airlines Will Benefit From Impeccably Clear Audio From HARMAN’s IDX Information Delivery System
Mumbai, India —
HARMAN International India today announced the successful
implementation of a new HARMAN IDX Information Delivery System, a truly
integrated airport communications system at Bengaluru International
Airport in Bangalore, India. The deployment is a part
of a comprehensive program by BIAL to deliver world-class facilities
and services to its passengers and partners at T1A, which spreads across 1.5 million square feet and has the capacity to handle 20 million passengers/year.
The HARMAN
IDX Information Delivery System
is especially engineered for meeting the communication challenges in
today’s complex public spaces such as airports, rail stations
and others. In this case, the airport communications system comprises a
software-based IDX system core and operator interface, as well as
JBL Professional loudspeakers, CROWN amplification, AKG noise sensing microphones and BSS audio processing.
The
system is a fully managed digital notification system that seamlessly
combines audio and visual messaging systems with the airport IT LAN and
provides operators with an
effective interface for managing complex, rapidly-changing travel
information including gate information, boarding details and life safety
protocol in the unlikely event of emergencies.
The deployment provides the airport with a
highly flexible and scalable solution
that can support the airport’s current requirements of Terminal 1 and
future expansion plans. This
is a landmark installation, as it is not only the first HARMAN
IDX Information Delivery System installation at an international airport
in India, but also the first IDX system deployment in Asia.
“We
are pleased to partner with HARMAN in installing a highly capable,
robust and mission-oriented situation management platform at the
terminal. Through the new system we
will raise the bar in providing unmatched world-class audio experience
to our passengers at the Bengaluru International Airport. This sets the
foundation for an integrated airport communication system that will
serve the airport’s needs for years to come”
said Mr. G V Sanjay Reddy, Managing Director, BIAL
“The
truly integrated airport communication AV system from HARMAN
Professional will provide a premium information delivery solution that
minimizes traveler stress, and ensures
a positive airport experience. We believe this project has set a new
benchmark in the global AV industry,” said M. Lakshminarayan, Country
Manager and Managing Director, HARMAN International India.
HARMAN
IDX is designed and built to exceed professional audio standards,
incorporating premium microphones, amplifiers and loudspeakers for the
