FAQs
Airline IT leaders face unique demands connecting hub operations, crew scheduling, and flight management systems across sites and cloud regions. Here are answers to common questions about network predictability, latency, vendor simplification, and security for flight-critical systems.
Contact UsHow do I connect our hubs, operations centers, and cloud regions for flight operations?
Lumen provides dedicated fiber between your hubs, operations sites, and major cloud regions, delivering consistent low latency for crew scheduling, flight management, and passenger systems. This private backbone avoids the unpredictability of public internet routing. Direct cloud connectivity ensures reliable performance for real-time applications across your airline's footprint.
What latency and availability can I expect compared to the public internet for real-time flight operations?
Our dedicated fiber backbone delivers sub-10ms latency and a 99.99% availability SLA, eliminating the unpredictable routing and congestion common on the public internet. This predictability is critical for time-sensitive flight operations and crew coordination. You get reliable, measurable performance your teams can depend on.
How can I simplify managing multiple vendors and responding to incidents for critical aviation systems?
A single programmable platform consolidates network, security, and edge cloud services under one SLA, giving you unified visibility and eliminating finger-pointing during incidents. Built-in threat intelligence from Black Lotus Labs and DDoS protection safeguard your operations. Your team spends less time coordinating vendors and more time ensuring flight systems run smoothly.
What cloud connectivity options support our flight operations and enterprise systems?
Lumen offers direct connectivity to AWS, Azure, and other major cloud providers, plus edge computing support for flight operations, maintenance systems, and passenger services. This architecture reduces latency and keeps sensitive data off the public internet. You get flexible, secure access to the cloud resources your airline depends on.
How do I get started with a technical evaluation for hub and cloud connectivity?
Request a technical workshop where Lumen will map our fiber footprint directly to your hub-and-cloud architecture and run a real-world evaluation of your flight operations workloads.
