MIAL Chooses Nortel for New Communications Infrastructure

Mumbai International Airport Private Limited (MIAL) has chosen Nortel(1) (TSX: NT)(NYSE: NT) to build one of the most extensive and comprehensive IP communications networks ever deployed by an international airport in India.
Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA), managed by MIAL, plans to consolidate the majority of its data, telephony and video systems onto a converged wired and wireless IP-based network, powered by Nortel Enterprise Solutions and its innovative Metro Ethernet-based Provider Backbone Bridging (PBB) and Provider Backbone Transport (PBT) technologies. As a long term technology partner to MIAL, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) will provide systems integration for the converged triple-play communications upgrade project.
A joint venture between the GVK-SA consortium and Airports Authority of India, MIAL was awarded a 30-year contract to modernize, operate and maintain CSIA in April 2006. When completed, the new wired and wireless infrastructure will provide network coverage throughout the airport terminal buildings and outside maintenance areas. Passengers, airline staff, retailers, security and airport operations employees will benefit from a variety of airport-wide WiFi and VoIP services.
