dBD Communications provides wireless duplex communication systems designed specifically for airside operations
In the demanding environment of airport ground handling, clear communication between drivers, ground crews and control teams is essential to ensure aircraft are moved safely and efficiently across the ramp.
Our systems connect tug drivers, wing walkers, de-icing operators and ramp teams, enabling reliable hands-free communication during aircraft movements and ground operations.
As a manufacturer of wireless headset and communication systems, dBD Communications ensures ground handling teams remain connected, coordinated and safe during critical aircraft turnaround activities.
How Our Airground Handling Systems Communicate
The Systems That Solve Communication Challenges Across the Ramp
Aircraft Movement Communication Systems
Aircraft movement operations such as aircraft pushback, aircraft towing and aircraft repositioning require constant coordination between tug drivers, ground operatives and aircraft flight deck crews.
In high-noise ramp environments, communication must remain clear and immediate to ensure safe manoeuvring of aircraft and rapid response to instructions or stop commands.
dBD aircraft movement communication systems provide reliable wireless links between ground teams and the cockpit, eliminating traditional wired headsets while allowing operators the mobility needed to safely guide aircraft during movement operations.
Minerva Momentary
Wireless pushback communication system with push-to-talk control, enabling reliable communication between the ground operative and flight deck without the need for traditional umbilical cables.
Minerva Ajax
High-performance pushback communication system designed for extremely noisy ramp environments, using specialised noise suppression to ensure clear voice transmission near active jet engines.
Minerva VOX
Voice-activated wireless pushback system that allows ground operatives to communicate with the cockpit completely hands-free during aircraft manoeuvres.
Apollo Pushback (Base-Station System)
Multi-user communication system that connects tug drivers and ground teams through a central base unit, ensuring all personnel hear instructions simultaneously during complex aircraft movements.
De-icing Communication Systems
Aircraft de-icing operations require clear coordination between vehicle drivers, spray operators and pad coordinators working together in harsh winter conditions.
Communication must remain reliable while teams coordinate multiple vehicles, manage fluid application and ensure aircraft are treated safely within tight operational windows.
dBD de-icing communication systems provide robust wireless communication links designed for these demanding environments. The systems allow operators and coordinators to maintain clear communication while working around aircraft in extreme weather and high-noise conditions.
Athena De-icing (2 Headsets)
Wireless two-user communication system designed to connect the de-icing vehicle driver and spray operator, enabling clear coordination during fluid application in extreme winter conditions.
Apollo De-icing (Multi-User System)
Wireless two-user communication system designed to connect the de-icing vehicle driver and spray operator, enabling clear coordination during fluid application in extreme winter conditions.
