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.”
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
R&M aims to finish the installation of
the cabling infrastructure by the first
quarter of 2018
The high-performance cabling network
will connect key airport systems,
including ICT infrastructure for
security, police and customs
In total, the number of installed RJ45
ports will exceed already 90,000 in the
first phase of the project
IGA has designed the datacentre
infrastructure with R&M’s Netscale,
the world’s highest-density fibre cable
management solution
R&M has also supplied its flagship
automated infrastructure management
solution, R&MinteliPhy, which
centralises and automates the entire
cabling infrastructure
