Panel discussion: Frankfurt Airport’s Auracast pilot – a blueprint for inclusive passenger communication

18 Mar 2026
Barrier-free and inclusive travel
Fraport and Sittig Technologies present their joint Bluetooth Auracast pilot project at Frankfurt Airport – the first airport in the world to implement this technology. Conducted in collaboration with FraAlliance and the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, Auracast enables passengers to receive real-time announcements directly on their personal devices, marking a major step beyond traditional hearing loops. This innovation removes barriers for travelers with hearing impairments and enhances accessibility for all. The session shares pilot insights and operational learnings, and shows how Auracast can seamlessly integrate into airport environments.
  • How Bluetooth Auracast enables inclusive, barrier-free passenger communication
  • Why Frankfurt Airport is the first to implement Bluetooth Auracast worldwide
  • How Bluetooth Auracast replaces traditional hearing loops with personal audio
  • How accessibility improvements benefit all passengers, not just a few
  • How airports can integrate Bluetooth Auracast seamlessly into existing systems
