Communications management system with a separate peripherals server

A client workstation inside an airport within a system for airport passenger processing, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a non-transitory memory containing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the client workstation to perform operations comprising:
• establishing, by a virtualization client running on the client workstation, a first communication channel for virtualization with a virtualized application hosted on a virtualization server outside the airport;
• establishing, by a peripherals client running on the client workstation and distinct from the virtualization client, a second communication channel for peripherals management with a peripherals manager hosted on a peripherals server;
• coupling a peripheral device inside the airport to the peripherals client running on the client workstation;
• sending, by the virtualization client running on the client workstation to the virtualized application hosted on the virtualization server and using the first communication channel, an instruction for the peripheral device;
• receiving, by the peripherals client running on the client workstation from the peripherals manager hosted on the peripherals server, the instruction for the peripheral device, wherein the peripherals server received the instruction from the virtualization server;
• and
• providing, by the peripherals client running on the client workstation, the instruction to the peripheral device.
