Introduction
AirPorter is an all-in-one IoT solution for everyday problems passengers face in airports, including the stress of navigation, being late for boarding, missing flight announcements, and long-standing time in queue.
We utilize a comprehensive beacon network, BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), and in-door GPS to provide stress-free navigation, real-time flight updates, and time management on a phone application. AirPorter also provides corresponding in-airport services using near-field communication as the solution for late passengers, including TSA fast pass, check-in fast pass, and autopilot vehicles for quick transportation to the boarding gate.
