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.
