IP at an international airport

Mumbai International Airport Private Limited (MIAL) is using Nortel infrastructure to build an extensive and comprehensive IP communications networks.
Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA), which is managed by MIAL, has consolidated the majority of its data, telephony and video systems onto a converged wired and wireless IP-based network, powered by Nortel Enterprise Solutions—Metro Ethernet-based Provider Backbone Bridging (PBB) and Provider Backbone Transport (PBT) technologies.
This will serve as a backbone to support MIAL’s long-term vision of leveraging technology for revenue generation and benchmark it against the most efficient airports in the world. CSIA is India’s busiest airport, with 22.2 million passengers and 480,000 tonnes of cargo passing through it in 2006-07. It had to upgrade the technology right from the bottom.
