Trial in MTL (Jan.~Sep. 2011)
Trials
in Modern Terminal Limited (MTL) were conducted. Lavinet has been
enhanced with more specific requirements from the terminal industrial
setting.

Trial in HAECO (Sep. ~ Nov. 2010)
We
successfully conducted a full feasibility study in Hong Kong Aircraft
Engineering Company Limited (HAECO). The overall feedback was that the
wireless coverage and throughput had significantly improved with
Lavinet and smart APs on the ground and inside airplanes. HAECO
applications could run much faster and smoother under the new
infrastructure.

Prove of Concept Demo in HAECO (Nov. 2009)
In
the one week of concept proving, we successfully demonstrated the
usefulness of Lavinet to Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company Limited
(HAECO). We also obtained the first hand industrial practical
information for improving our research project.
In the picture:
Left: Installed a Lavinet node on top of the dock office to Wifi the entire dock office and surrounding area.
Right: Above Hanger 3, over seeing the terminal buildings. |

Demo in Boeing Seattle (Dec. 2008)
We were invited by Boeing to setup a demo of wireless mesh
network for the airport operation support. The demo was very successful and
Boeing becomes the major industrial sponsor for the following Lavinet project.
In the picture:
Left:Seatle airport. An AP is installed in Boeing's operation site, 2km away from the demo site.
Right:Demo site. One of our wireless routers was installed on top of the van to relay the signal. |
