In order to ensure efficient and reliable communications at the new airport, Airbus will provide one Tetra DXTA server and nine TB3 base stations with eight TTRX 32-channel receivers per base station. For additional resilience, together with enhanced communications and management, the TETRA networks at the Beijing Daxing Airport and Beijing Capital International Airport will back each other up and be fully interconnected. Tests carried out in April proved the interconnectivity between the digital trunk communication systems of both airports to be reliable, as stable and clear communications were recorded. The two Tetra systems provided by Airbus are fully interconnected; this will allow for Airport related entities such as Airlines and ground service companies to benefit from seamless communications between both airports.

Beijing International Airport is also equipped with an Airbus Tetra system, which has provided highly stable, reliable, and flexible communication security for daily operations since its deployment in 2008. Over the past ten years, it has played a vital role in securing tasks relating to passenger transportation, as well as the logistics of high-scale world sports events. The current system serves over 10,000 subscribers. In 2018, the Beijing Capital International Airport saw over 100 million passengers for the first time, making it the second busiest airport in the world.
