Orlando International Airport’s new south terminal complex is tapping into a variety of tech upgrades to make travel easier for millions of passengers headed to Central Florida.

The new $2 billion-plus facility, which is set to debut in July, will feature technology to expedite the terminal process, arrival and departure, baggage processes and more.

Here’s a look at the tech at the new terminal, according to an airport release:

• 100% automated screening lanes in TSA checkpoints
• 100% facial recognition for international arrival and departures
• A state-of-the-art radio frequency identification technology (RFID) tote baggage handling system for efficient tracking and expedited luggage collection
• Virtual ramp control systems that precisely display aircraft operations on video walls, providing controllers with full, unobstructed visibility of airfield traffic
• Large-scale interactive digital media as part of an imaginative visual experience, designed with “The Orlando Experience” in mind
• One of the first North American airports to install a Passive Optical Network (PON) using fiber-optic technology to create a high-speed, future-proofed, energy-efficient IT system
• The first fully integrated, multimodal airport terminal in the U.S. for rail-air-ground transportation
