Asian and Middle Eastern Airports Use Microsoft Band to Simplify Ground Handling

Here’s some interesting news and more evidence that the Microsoft Band can be used in situations other than just fitness. Sure, it’s a fitness device, but its smartwatch capabilities are as valuable as any other smartwatch available.

SITA, the IT provider to the air transport industry, has worked with Microsoft to deliver a Windows 10 universal app -  SITA AirsideApp -  a sophisticated mobile application that transforms ground operations at airports. This app, which fully digitizes processes, works on phones and tablets and can also be used with wearable computing devices for efficient hands-free operations. The mobile app provides ground agents with relevant real-time information for smart collaboration.

…notifications and status updates can be provided on the Microsoft Band allowing for hands-free updates on the go.
