Migrate from expensive proprietary connections easily
Today, many travel industry vendors are discontinuing support for older protocol technology—and are requiring that users migrate to TCP/IP-based protocols. Since TCP/IP is quickly becoming the protocol of choice, INFOConnect Airlines Gateway is the best option when replacing the expensive proprietary connections. INFOConnect Airlines Gateway is a natural migration path, especially if you’ve been using gateways such as the Lantern gateway to connect to TPF/ALCS and Unisys hosts via proprietary connections.
Use just one gateway for multiple GDS connections
Typical gateway implementations supported connections to two GDSs over two separate proprietary connections, via an Attachmate card. With INFOConnect Airlines Gateway, you no longer have to rely on these costly proprietary connections to connect to your GDS systems. Now you can connect to multiple GDSs with just one gateway implementation.
