Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (IATA: SZX), situated 32 kilometers from Shenzhen City, stands as China's largest international airport, integrating land, sea, air, and rail transport. In 2018, it ranked as China's fifth busiest airport, handling millions of passengers, cargo, and numerous flights. Given the colossal operational demands, the airport required a stable, flexible, and secure communication system to facilitate digital transformation.

The airport needed an advanced communication solution to meet the dynamic communication needs of its ground personnel, who work tirelessly amidst challenging conditions, including complex environments and unpredictable weather. Moreover, the airport required the integration of multiple airlines into a secure private network, ensuring seamless communication among them.

Talkpod collaborated with partners to develop a robust Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) solution for Shenzhen Airport Cargo Center. By deploying Talkpod's N35 terminals, the entire airport complex, including terminals, cargo yards, aprons, and runways, achieved seamless wireless communication, GPS dispatching, single calls, group calls, and instant high-quality communication.
