Telecom Lead America: Avaya Network has provided
Schiphol Telematics with an Avaya data network to support a new luggage
handling system that will allow the airport to handle 70 million bags per year.
Schiphol Airport recently introduced a new luggage
handling system that will allow it to manage up to 40 percent more luggage
capacity.
Avaya said that its new system is able to process over
8,000 bags per hour and any interruption in outage would severely impact
airlines and their passengers. Schiphol Telematics selected Avaya to provide a
strong data network with active resiliency for this new system.
Schiphol Telematics, Avaya and channel partner Vosko
Networking designed and deployed a network solution using the Avaya
Ethernet Routing Switch (ERS) 8600 and Avaya ERS 4500.
“Performance, reliability and availability — those
are the three criteria that matter most for a network. Avaya’s network has
dealt with everything we’ve thrown at it and managed to meet our criteria, time
after time,” said Ras Lalmy, managing director, Schiphol Telematics.
Schiphol Telematics is a specialized telecom operator at
Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport. The Airport is the fourth busiest airport in
Europe with almost 50 million passengers per year.
The ERS 8600 is a core network system designed to address
the reliability, efficiency and scalability requirements of critical business
networks.
The system offers 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE)
support, and uses Avaya VENA Switch Clustering to deliver true
end-to-end reliability and provide Schiphol Airport with always-on access to
their luggage handling system.
Avaya ERS 4500 switches were used at the edge of the
network to provide high performance Ethernet connectivity that is secure,
resilient and energy efficient.
