According to Cornwall Airport Newquay, the new Wi-Fi service represents a huge leap in speed and reliability over the previous service, with the aim of streamlining check-in and making passengers’ time at the airport more convenient and productive.
Wildanet removed previous bottle necks and created a high-capacity physical network spine throughout the airport estate, allowing easy upgrades and expansion. Strategically placed access points provide comprehensive coverage across all areas of the airport terminal and waiting areas, including extending coverage outside the airport terminal, allowing customers to get connected and use services like on-line check-in from the moment they arrive in the car park.
Sam O’Dwyer, managing director of Cornwall Airport Newquay, said: “We are excited to partner with the extraordinary team at Wildanet, whose commitment to improving connectivity aligns perfectly with our vision for growth and excellence in service. Furthermore, this new infrastructure supports our commitment to sustainability by facilitating a shift towards digital solutions, reducing the need for paper-based processes. This move not only conserves resources but also streamlines the travel experience, allowing passengers to manage their journeys digitally from check-in to boarding.
"This initiative is just the beginning of our journey towards a smarter, more connected airport environment, empowering our passengers with seamless digital access before they make their way to their next destination."
The roll-out of the new Wi-Fi to public areas is the first step in a wider partnership between Wildanet and Cornwall Airport Newquay, designed to modernise and upgrade critical data connectivity infrastructure across the entire facility and its systems. It is critical to future-proofing the airport and supporting growth in passengers, destinations and airline operators.
