SITA – an exhibitor at FTE Global (Los Angeles, 28-30 October 2024) and Platinum Sponsor and exhibitor at FTE APEX Asia Expo (Singapore, 19-20 November 2024) – is partnering with Air Niugini to integrate SITA’s recently launched SITA Connect Go Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform into the airline’s digital infrastructure. The solution will link Air Niugini’s six international airport and sales offices to the airline’s head office in Port Moresby and its cloud-hosted applications.
SITA Connect Go is the only integrated networking and security solution designed specifically for the air transport industry, offering secure connectivity for Air Niugini’s global workforce, whether stationed in the office or working remotely. The solution will improve productivity, offer enhanced flexibility, and increase the average bandwidth by about forty times, all while mitigating risks associated with traditional internet deployments.
“This new partnership with Air Niugini is a big step for us in the region as we look to continue offering solutions that cater to our customers’ needs,” said Sumesh Patel, President, SITA APAC. “Our end-to-end secure network solutions are a great way for airlines to stop worrying about their network capabilities and concentrate on other important priorities across their operations. By offering them robust security, increased bandwidth, and a higher flexibility for their staff, we can help them do just that.”
This partnership marks the first implementation of SITA Connect Go SASE in the Asia-Pacific region. SITA Connect Go aims to help the industry transform its network capabilities to meet evolving bandwidth, resilience, security, and automation needs while remaining cost-competitive.
“Our partnership with SITA to implement the SITA Connect Go SASE platform is a transformative step in our digital evolution,” said Gary Seddon, CEO, Air Niugini. “This solution will significantly enhance the connectivity and security of our operations, allowing us to better serve our passengers, improve productivity across our international offices, and future-proof our infrastructure as we continue to expand. We are proud to be the first airline in the APAC region to adopt this cutting-edge technology, reinforcing our commitment to operational excellence and innovation.”
