Micro-Distribution Cabinet (MDC)
Each MDC provides connectivity to
the Airport's communication
infrastructure backbone system
Designed and developed to
implement PLB Wi-Fi capacity
Provides high-performance network
access for future Port and Airline
ramp operations

Ramp Wi-Fi supports
mobile devices used by
personnel and vehicles                                                                              WAP for above-thewing
operations


WAP for below-thewing
operations



Antennas are oriented so that the signal can reach between the rear door and the
tail of the aircraft where most of the Wi-Fi use will take place.
