Bangalore International Airport selects OCEM Airfield for the apron manoeuvring guidance solution.

Bangalore International airport / Kempegowda International Airport is an international airport serving Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka in India. The airport is the third-busiest airport by passenger traffic, air traffic movements and domestic and total cargo handled in India.

When the airport started looking for a full airfield ground lighting solution to manage the apron maneuvering area, OCEM Airfield came out as the partner with the best technical solution.

The OCEM Airfield apron maneuvering guidance lights helps to safely steer the pilot to the exact position in front of the gate.

What makes the solution so unique is the way the lights get powered. Typical apron maneuvering lights require series power supply (6.6 Amp) fixtures that are connected to a dedicated constant current regulator (CCR), OCEM Airfield offers a compact, comprehensive solution comprising 48 VAC lights. These lights can either be powered through the 220 VAC power available in the Visual Docking Guidance System (VDGS) or Passenger Boarding Bridge (PBB). A step-down transformer (IP68) is used to step down voltage from 230 VAC to 48 VAC. This solution is not only safer and simpler to use but cost efficient too. It’s the simplicity of the solution and the easy implementation that attracted the airport to go for the OCEM Airfield solution.

The OCEM Airfield apron maneuvering guidance solution has been very popular in India and this new reference will certainly see the introduction of the same solution at many other airports in the country. The unique combination of safety, simplicity and cost efficiency makes it stand out.
