Final day greetings from the Airbus team. It has truly been an incredible time at the CCW 2024!

Imagine, a vibrant city in early June. The sky is blue and the sun is shining softly. A fresh summer air is gently embracing the lively streets. Flowers are blooming in every corner creating a beautiful scenery. People are outside and the joy of early summer is visible on everyone’s faces. The air is full of excitement and anticipation. Music fills the air and happy people gather to celebrate.

You are organizing a big event with multiple event areas scattered across different locations. The event is attracting tens of thousands maybe even hundreds of thousands of visitors.

The event venues start to quickly fill with eager crowds and soon you have many small incidences happening around the different locations. Maybe it is a suspicious bag that needs to be checked, a missing child, someone is hurt or then just a very crowded walkway.

In these critical moments, where one event can trigger a chain reaction, it is critical to be very cautious. It is important to allocate resources in the most efficient way to assure that everything goes accordingly.

This is where Airbus solutions like Agnet can help you giving all parties seamless connectivity using for example voice, video, data and images. Letting the experts at the command room and commanders at the field to lead the scene, making informed decisions and coordinating responses efficiently.
