Objectives
Prepare in the medium term the migration of Tetra and WIFI network on LTE Pro network, for professional usage, on our major Airline Hubs (Roissy CDG & Orly).
Resources
• Temporary Allocation by French Regulation authority (ARCEP) of 20 MHz in Frequency Range 2.6 GHz since November 1st of 2016.
• Partnership with Telecom suppliers• Operational implementation for our businesses
Internal Mobilisation of businesses, IT Radio Experts, Security, Deployment, Development, Network, Communication etc.

Objectives and resources
Needs and Issues
Better operational performance required by our businesses• Obsolescence of our Tetra radio network (20 000 communications per day).• WiFi no more appropriate (technical aspect, financials)• Significant increase of video usage and digitizing of our operational businesses
Control of our critical communications in CDG & ORY internally kept • Engineering control (skills)• Exploitation control (operations) • Costs management• Infrastructure flexibility in order too answer current and future operational usage :
(voice and data, video, IOT, 5G)
5
LTE Pro Network implementation : project launched by Air France as well as others companies
• AGURRE Association created since 2012.• Implementation of action plan to address usage evolution and to obtain frequency resources• Discussions with Public Authorities (Ministry of Interior, ARCEP, ANFR, Ministry of Economy)
IT and radio tests
Businesses tests
Real Life Usage (Flight) for ground services

Aircraft Engineering and Maintenance & Ground services
Aircraft connectivity
Predictive and preventive maintenance
Improvement of contents, software updates and upgrades for servers onboard
Operational data downloads/uploads
Improve inter-business communication around the aircraft (real time + zero paper)
New « chatty » aircraft and LTE Pro offer new possibilities
« high quality of reception within covered area »
« Not necessary to connect again after a
network disconnection »
« less use of battery on tablets (Aircraft engineering
& maintenance) »
« Tablets much less heat »
« cockpit and cabin connectivity OK »
“Connectivity OK”In the passenger boarding bridge
« successful test either with IPAD and
Scanners(ground services)»
« Luggage application : better performance
compared to WIFI and public
network connection»
« Form factor (device + 4G key) not deployable as it is»

First feedback from businesses
MCPTT Tests
In Progress
Additional Engineering tests and measures
Extension (6 months) of frequency allocation by Arcep(november to april 2018)
Real Life situation usage by AF E&M
Tetra/LTE interconnection
10Next Steps : (estimated Macro planning)
Renewal of hardened End User Devices (2.6 GHz compatibility)
Smooth Migration from Tetra to 4G
ORY/CDG: Outdoor
infra
ORY/CDG: Indoor infra
MCPTT Iot (Critical) 5G
Full convergence (voice, data, video)
