Every airport team depends on the right ground support gear to guarantee safety, coordination, and efficiency. From wireless headsets to weatherproof systems, the right equipment protects crews, prevents costly delays, and ensures smooth aircraft ground handling.

Airport ground safety systems

Streamline your ramp operations with advanced ground support communication solutions.

Why ground support gear matters

On today’s congested ramps, ground support equipment is the backbone of efficient operations. Without reliable tools, aircraft turnaround slows down, communication breaks down, and risks escalate. For airport operators, investing in certified equipment ensures compliance, reduces human error, and keeps ground handling services consistent.

The growing complexity of the aviation industry demands advanced communication solutions. From coordinating pushback procedures to managing de-icing operations, every phase depends on crystal-clear interaction between cockpit personnel, ramp crews, and control towers.

Ground support checklist essential gear for your team

A strong ramp crew relies on specialized tools that combine communication performance, safety, and resilience.

Priority communication equipment

  • Ground support headset: The foundation of safe ramp operations. Modern headsets integrate noise cancellation, durability, and comfort, ensuring clear audio in extreme environments.

  • Pushback headset: Critical for coordination between tug operators and cockpit crews, directly linked to aircraft intercom systems for fail-safe exchanges.

  • Ground support beltpack and intercoms: Provide hands-free communication for multitasking crews and maintain compatibility across multiple aircraft systems.

Specialized technical equipment

  • Noise-cancelling gear: Reduces interference from engines and vehicles, ensuring instructions are transmitted with accuracy.

  • Weatherproof equipment: Built for rain, snow, and outdoor resilience, protecting operations in all conditions.

  • Lightweight headsets: Designed for long shifts without fatigue, keeping operators efficient.

Safety and visibility equipment

  • High-visibility headsets: Improve worker visibility and ramp safety, particularly in low-light operations.

  • Accessories and spares: Batteries, protective kits, and emergency parts ensure uninterrupted operations.

  • Certified gear (EN352): Guarantees compliance with international safety standards.

Seamless aircraft integration

  • Aircraft intercom compatibility: Vital for smooth cockpit-to-ground communication during pushback, docking, or de-icing.

The wireless advantage with Airlink 2085

Modern ground handling is shifting towards wireless communication. The Airlink 2085 by Globalsys provides full-duplex wireless connectivity between ramp agents and cockpit crews. Unlike wired systems, it eliminates cable restrictions, reducing tripping risks and improving crew mobility.

With its robust design, secure connections, and interference-resistant audio, the Airlink 2085 supports the highest standards of ground support communication. Its hands-free functionality allows crews to remain operational while signaling, handling equipment, or performing safety checks.

Airlines adopting wireless systems report faster turnaround times, fewer incidents, and stronger ROI. The Airlink 2085 is therefore more than a headset – it is a complete wireless solution built for modern ground handling services.

Safety and compliance in ground operations

Equipping ground crews with the right tools ensures both productivity and regulatory compliance. Certified headsets and accessories not only pass safety audits but also reinforce trust with airlines and passengers by prioritizing corrective actions, precision, and professionalism.

Building the future of ground support

The aviation industry is undergoing a digital transformation. Wireless systems, AI-driven monitoring, and smart ramp solutions are shaping the future of ground support. Globalsys is at the forefront of this evolution with more than 25 years of expertise.

The Airlink 2085 represents this commitment: clear communication, reliable performance, and adaptability to the demanding environments of aircraft ground handling.

 

For ground handling teams, the right communication equipment is essential. From noise-cancelling headsets to wireless systems like the Airlink 2085, every tool contributes to safer, faster, and more reliable airport operations.

As traffic grows, only operators investing in modern wireless communication will meet the demands of the aviation industry. Globalsys delivers the solutions that enable safety, efficiency, and operational excellence worldwide.
