Two FBOs Share Gig Internet, Tenant Loyalty Improves
Fixed Base Tech worked with Municipal operators to connect a new terminal to an existing Multigig network to lower costs. We also added services for tenants to view their hangers securely, becoming the premiere property lessor.
Challenge:
KRBD FBO Operators, with two buildings situated opposite each other across an airfield, sought to enhance connectivity, security, and tenant services. The challenge was to create a unified high-speed internet network across both buildings, provide Wi-Fi services for tenant hangars, install comprehensive security cameras, and enable tenants to access live feeds of their planes at their convenience. Meeting the architectural requirements while gaining municipal approval for these upgrades was crucial.
Solution:
In collaboration with KRBD, Fixed Base Tech devised a comprehensive solution. We implemented a high-speed internet connection beamed seamlessly between the terminals, reducing cost and lowering IT complexity. Tenant hangars were equipped with dedicated and guest Wi-Fi, ensuring reliable internet access for maintenance crews and fostering an aeronautically advanced environment. To meet security needs, AI-enabled cameras were placed, covering tenant leases. Notably, tenants were granted secure access to the camera feeds, enabling them to monitor their planes remotely. KRBD has a beautiful property and keeping antennas and equipment was a key factor when working with the municipal operator.
Results:
The results at KRBD FBOs were transformative. The unified high-speed internet network streamlined communication between the two buildings, improving operational efficiency. Tenant satisfaction soared with the introduction of dedicated Wi-Fi in hangars, providing a technological edge for their operations. The implementation of security cameras not only bolstered overall safety but also empowered tenants with real-time visibility of their aircraft. Meeting the stringent architectural requirements not only ensured municipal approval but also elevated the FBO's image as a modern and compliant facility.
This case study underscores how strategic IT solutions, seamlessly integrated into the architectural vision, can enhance connectivity, security, and tenant satisfaction while navigating regulatory landscapes successfully.
