Product Datasheet

TYPICAL USE CASES

  • Ramp supervision and ground handling supervision – an operations supervisor sits at the desktop communication unit and coordinates pushback, de-icing and maintenance teams equipped with AIRLINK wireless headsets and portable belt packs.
  • Industrial line or plant control desk – a line manager in the control room uses the desktop communication unit to talk directly to operators working around noisy production machinery, without leaving the monitoring station.
  • Training and mentoring – instructors can follow live conversations between field teams and join when necessary, using the desktop communication unit to guide new operators during real operations.
  • Multi-area coordination – when several teams are spread across different areas of a site, the desktop communication unit provides a single point from which a supervisor can contact each group and keep everyone aligned.

Complete your pack

To build a complete solution, combine the Desktop communication unit with AIRLINK 2085 or 3085 wireless headsets, belt packs and base stations. Together, they create an end-to-end communication chain from the aircraft or industrial line to the supervision room.

Key Benefits

  • Centralised communication from the control room – the desktop communication unit lets supervisors follow operations and talk to teams without being physically on the ramp or in the industrial area.
  • Hands-free full-duplex communication allows supervisors to speak and listen simultaneously, ensuring faster and clearer exchanges with wireless headsets and belt packs.
  • Improved coordination in noisy environments – by extending the AIRLINK wireless system into the supervision room, the desktop communication unit maintains clear communication during ramp operations, maintenance tasks or industrial production activities.
  • Easy integration into existing workflows – the Desktop unit is designed to be intuitive, with simple controls and straightforward installation, so it can be added to current procedures with minimal disruption.
  • Better safety and situational awareness – having a dedicated desktop communication unit in the control room allows supervisors to monitor what is happening in the field and react quickly when something changes.
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the role of the Desktop unit in the AIRLINK system?

The Desktop unit acts as a desktop communication unit for supervisors or coordinators. It connects to the AIRLINK wireless system so that someone in an office or control room can communicate directly with crews using wireless headsets or belt packs.

How is the Desktop unit different from a base station?

A base station is typically mounted close to the aircraft or working area and manages the wireless link. The Desktop unit is a remote desktop communication unit, usually located in a supervision room, that allows a manager to join or monitor communications without being on site.

In which markets is the Desktop unit most commonly used?

The Desktop unit is part of the AIRLINK 2085 / 3085 ranges and is particularly suited to GROUND HANDLING & MRO as well as INDUSTRY, where centralised supervision and coordination are critical.

Can the Desktop unit be used with existing wired headsets?

Yes. The desktop communication unit is designed to be compatible with professional wired headsets, allowing supervisors to use comfortable, high-attenuation headsets when monitoring noisy operations at a distance.

How does the Desktop unit improve safety and efficiency?

By giving supervisors a clear, real-time audio link to teams in the field, the desktop communication unit helps detect issues earlier, resolve misunderstandings quickly and support operators during critical operations, which improves both safety and overall efficiency.
