PAXGuide Module for Auracast™ Audio Support
Airports are challenging acoustic environments and accessible audio is often difficult to deliver. Large spaces, noise and constantly changing layouts limit where traditional assistive listening systems can be installed.
Auracast™ broadcast audio introduces a new approach. As part of Bluetooth® LE Audio, it sends high quality audio directly to compatible hearing aids, earbuds, headphones and smartphones.
Seamless Integration with PAXGuide
Sittig’s Automatic Announcement Software PAXGuide now supports the broadcast of automated and manual announcements using Auracast™ via plug-in transmitters.
Easy Deployment for Modern Terminals
Auracast™ audio support can be implemented using transmitters in combination with Sittig PAXmodular IP paging stations located at each gate, providing strong natural coverage. Additional transmitters can be placed flexibly throughout the terminal to expand coverage with minimal hardware.
Future Ready Accessibility
As more devices adopt Auracast™ broadcast Audio, passengers will expect direct to device Access to essential Information. PAXGuide enables airports to meet these expectations and deliver modern, inclusive communication.
