Safety and flexibility also on the airport

Outdoor aviation solutions

No compromise when it comes to safety

Outdoor enclosure solution for airport infrastructure

The aviation industry is characterised by turbulence. Outdoor installations at the airport require an especially robust construction due to the high wind speeds. At the same time, flexibility is required to expand and extend existing systems. At the same time, flexibility is decisive to allow future expansion of the existing systems.

Rittal offers a diverse standard portfolio of enclosures and matching climate control solutions to guarantee smooth and safe operations. The ideal protection for your application can be supplied in just 24/48 hours, for example for

  • airport lights and beacons
  • security systems
  • power distribution / apron distribution stations
  • active and passive IT applications

Exposure to aggressive substances such as jet fuel, urea and de-icing agents on the apron and along the runways places especially high demands on the resilience of outdoor enclosures. At the same time, high pressure resistance to cope with aircraft take-off and landing, and protection against extreme temperature conditions and severe weather are imperative. Only then is the reliable operation of safety-critical infrastructure guaranteed and the risk of extremely high downtime costs minimised.

Environment 1 to 4

From “Indoor Advanced” to “Outdoor Extreme”

Protection areas where the equipment and systems are used are just as diverse as the applications at the airport. The most common installation location is Outdoor Advanced, followed by the Outdoor Light environment. However, solutions are also needed indoors in Environment 1 and the unprotected Outdoor Extreme area. With Rittal, you have the perfect partner who can meet all your needs as a standard – entirely in line with your requirements.
