Implementation of Bosch PA systems integrated with Simpleway Unified Passenger Information Systems was successfully carried out in this multi-phase, multi-terminal/ multi-concourse Airport for the busiest airport in the Middle East, spread over several years. The installed system is also being maintained since over a decade.

The installed system includes the integration of erstwhile Philips SQ 45, Bosch Praesideo and Bosch Praesensa with the multi-lingual voice library for gate announcement, AODB, BMS, Fire within a unified IT network infrastructure.

The system infrastructure included Bosch PA hardware (over 100 + controllers/ 800+ amplifiers) installed in over 50 Technical rooms. Gate Announcement System in over xx boarding gates and airline, business and first-class lounges, over 4000 loudspeakers, 100+ call stations etc… 

As the system is an integral part of the safety system (broadcasting Fire Alarm messages), the highest level of hardware redundancy, loudspeaker line surveillance, incl A/B circuits) , Software in a VM environment was adopted to ensure no single po t of failure.

As a part of the installed system, is the Automatic Boarding Lounge Announcement System, that allows airlines to create and manage their own automated pre-boarding and boarding sequence announcements in 25 languages.

The scope included carrying out acoustics studies to determine the type, location of loudspeakers to achieve the desired SPL/STI figures for effective broadcast of the announcement system.
