Mobile Tornado (AIM: MBT) a leading provider of resource management mobile solutions to the enterprise market, announces that Leeds Bradford Airport ("LBA") has entered into an agreement with one of the Company's resellers to equip its workforce with Mobile Tornado's world-leading technologies for critical communications.
LBA, Yorkshire's largest airport, will be using Mobile Tornado's push-to-talk over cellular ("PTToC") solutions to provide instant communications with individuals and groups in a targeted and coordinated way to improve safety, efficiency and productivity in complex daily operations. The Company understands that LBA is one of the first airports in Europe to upgrade its radio system to a PTToC platform.

The Company provides best-in-class, seamless switching between 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G mobile and WiFi networks and is available via the latest ruggedized handsets and smartphone application for Android and iOS operating systems.
The contract was won by Storm, a key reseller of Mobile Tornado technologies and is initially for 200 user licences.
Damian Ives, Chief Operating Officer at LBA, said: "We are investing heavily in people and technology to make sure that passengers have the best possible experience when travelling through Leeds Bradford Airport.
"Mobile Tornado's world-leading technologies will help us to manage operations and achieve our ambitions. As a regional airport, we plan our development with the local economy, environment and stakeholders in mind and we are delighted to be working with Mobile Tornado, a local company with world-leading technology.
"For the first time in its history, LBA will feature 80 destinations year-round and regular seasonal charters throughout 2023-24."
