Digital Radio Systems Project of the State Airports Authority (DHMI)

DHMİ’s Digital Radio Systems Project is an important milestone that best reflects Novatel’s expertise in digital communication technologies. In the first phase of the project, a major transformation was achieved in operational processes by establishing digital communication infrastructure at strategically important airports in various regions of Turkey. In this phase, covering Ankara, Diyarbakır, Erzincan, Erzurum, Samsun, Şırnak and Trabzon airports, innovative solutions were presented to both accelerate daily operations and ensure uninterrupted communication in critical situations.

In this process, 500 PH660 and PM790 model DMR radios were delivered to increase the safety and efficiency of airport operations. These radios were designed to meet the needs of field personnel with high-quality voice communication, durability and ease of use. Thus, an instant and reliable communication network was established between different units such as air traffic control, security teams and ground services. With the establishment of the new infrastructure, delays in operational processes were prevented, daily workflows were optimized and rapid intervention was provided in critical situations.

After this successful first phase, we are moving on to a new phase to further expand the scope of the project. In this phase, called the expansion phase, Ankara, Balıkesir, Elazığ, Kastamonu, Malatya, Muş, Sivas and Uşak airports will also be included in the digital communication network. This expansion will be an important step in accelerating the digital transformation in Turkey's airport infrastructure.

In this phase, the communication capability of the airports will be further strengthened with the delivery of 1,014 PH690 and PM790 model radios. With their advanced technological features, these radios will not only increase the efficiency of daily operations but also provide a more secure communication infrastructure in emergency situations. In addition, with the integration of call managers and monitoring systems at each airport, it will be possible to monitor operational processes in more detail. This new infrastructure will increase administrative efficiency and play a key role in preventing operational disruptions.

As Novatel, the role we have undertaken in this project is an indication of the values we offer to the transportation and logistics sector. We are proud to contribute to both the sector and our country with the knowledge and experience we have gained in digital communication systems. When the expansion phase is completed, a new page will have been opened in DHMI's digital transformation journey and significant standardization will have been achieved in Turkey's airport infrastructure.
