In this episode, we’re joined by Norman Fekrat from Imagine Wireless and Chris Zack from Boldyn Networks to explore how the next generation of airports will look, feel, and operate through advanced connectivity infrastructure. From Enterprise 5G networks to AI-powered operations, airports are on the verge of what we might call 'digital transformation 2.0' that will revolutionize both passenger experiences and operational efficiencies. We discuss a wide range of use cases from autonomous jet bridges and smart luggage handling to the crucial role of connectivity as the strategic infrastructure layer for airports. Join us as we dive deep into the innovative technologies that are reshaping the aviation industry, making airports smarter, faster and more sustainable. Whether you’re a frequent traveler, airport administrator or a tech enthusiast, this episode is your inside look at the future of airports and how they’re evolving to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

We consider the airport's ecosystem, and the complexity of keeping the operation running while designing the future state. We explore how one of America’s biggest and busiest airport hubs is doing this with legacy infrastructure while also creating the future. Courtney Moore has fully embraced behavioral science and is known for implementing a wide array of nudges that enhance the ability to process passengers and support their airline partners.

In this episode, transportation expert, Adam Cohen, and Boldyn's US SVP of Wireless Solutions, Monnie Johnson, explore airports as more than just transit points but as vibrant destinations in their own right. From world-class dining and retail experiences to unique attractions, we uncover how airports are redefining the travel experience.
