INTELLIGENT CABLING Project snapshot tremendous opportunity to deliver its innovative solutions. In total, 45 different R&M products were selected for this project. R&M assigned a dedicated specialist team to be present on-site throughout the deployment of the solutions. “We are committed to deliver the highest Swiss quality. Cabling infrastructure typically features 20-year refresh cycles, so the reliability of the network is extremely dependent on quality tested products. For a 24-hour business, the highest reliability is essential as any downtime can significantly impact operations and passengers.” As a testimony to this quality, R&M will offer its 25-year R&Mfreenet systems warranty on the cabling infrastructure deployed at the new airport. Explaining his decision to select R&M for the project, Ersin Inankul, CIO at IGA, underlines that Istanbul New Airport will be the largest in the world. The new airport will be the first Tier-3 certificated and completely digital-first airport of the world. “We are developing lots of innovative solutions and our airport will be a technological benchmark. We started our work with the cabling as it is the basis for all the running infrastructure. The announcement system, fire alarms, cameras, card access systems, flight management and ATC systems will run on R&M’s fire-resistant copper cables.” Inankul mentioned that the elimination of signal interference through the transmission and high- performance of the cabling are critical areas wherein the quality of R&M’s cabling is a key benefit. “We had no problems during the tests we had done at R&M’s labs in Switzerland, or in our tests in the field. We can therefore run 9,000 CCTV cameras and 3,000 card access sockets on R&M’s cabling system in real-time with confidence that they will be protected against any transmission interference or loss,” he says. The CIO of IGA also appreciates the incredible support he and his team received from R&M through the entire engagement saying, “They understood our needs and customised their solution according to these. This is the biggest advantage for us as it separates them from the other cabling vendors. Availability, security, modularity, flexibility, capacity and cost-effectiveness have also all been key reasons why our project team chose R&M’s solutions for the project.”  Ÿ Ÿ On completion of the first phase, R&M will have supplied a total length of 4,500 kms of copper and over 1,600 kms of fibre-optic cables Ÿ Ÿ R&M aims to finish the installation of the cabling infrastructure by the first quarter of 2018 Ÿ Ÿ The high-performance cabling network will connect key airport systems, including ICT infrastructure for security, police and customs Ÿ Ÿ In total, the number of installed RJ45 ports will exceed already 90,000 in the first phase of the project Ÿ Ÿ IGA has designed the datacentre infrastructure with R&M’s Netscale, the world’s highest-density fibre cable management solution Ÿ Ÿ R&M has also supplied its flagship automated infrastructure management solution, R&MinteliPhy, which centralises and automates the entire cabling infrastructure Ÿ Ÿ 45 different R&M products were selected for this project in total Ÿ Ÿ R&M assigned a dedicated specialist team to be present on-site throughout the deployment of the solution Ÿ Ÿ R&M will offer its 25-year R&Mfreenet systems warranty on the cabling infrastructure deployed at the new airport Ÿ Ÿ Istanbul New Airport will be the first Tier-3 certificated and completely digital-first airport of the world Ÿ Ÿ Announcement system, fire alarms, cameras, card access systems, flight management and ATC systems will run on R&M’s fire-resistant copper cables Ÿ Ÿ 9,000 CCTV cameras and 3,000 card access sockets can be run on R&M’s cabling system in real-time with confidence they will be protected against any transmission interference or loss Ÿ Ÿ Availability, security, modularity, flexibility, capacity and cost- effectiveness were reasons why the project team chose R&M for the project 31
