Completely Digital Announcement Control System, Operational Boarding & Courtesy Announcements Critical Emergency Announcements
Electronic Design Company (EDC) provisioned, installed, and supports the Eastern Iowa Airport’s Public Address System. Located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Eastern Iowa Airport has implemented a multi-year terminal modernization project. This multiphase project began in 2015 and is scheduled to be completed in 2024. On a phased basis, EDC has upgraded their public address system to a completely digital announcement control system. The system not only supports operational boarding and courtesy announcements but also is used for critical emergency announcements. The system is also capable of providing speech to text boarding information on gate displays. This is valuable for not only the hearing impaired community but all travelers who have problems understanding gate boarding information.
