A Ford AV Case Study
Reno-Tahoe International Airport, operated by the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority, serves more than 4 million travelers annually and needed to upgrade its audio system during a 2009 remodel. Ford AV was brought in to improve communication between airport employees and travelers, while supporting the airport’s updated baggage screening areas and modern Tahoe-themed interior.
Ford AV implemented airport-wide audio updates using ambient noise sensors and shallow speakers to maintain clear announcements and high speech intelligibility in changing acoustic conditions. The system adjusted output levels in real time to compensate for background noise, helping communication remain reliable and easy to use throughout the airport, though no specific measurable performance increase was provided.
