Nokia wins Taoyuan communications deal

Nokia announced that Taoyuan International Airport Corporation (TIAC) will upgrade its communications infrastructure with Nokia’s IP/MPLS solution to replace and expand the airport’s current system in Terminals 1 and 2 to ensure security and reliability of the services. The improved network, delivered in partnership with HwaCom Systems, will allow TIAC to future-proof its infrastructure while advancing towards its goal of becoming a major regional hub. Nokia’s solution will consolidate voice, data, video communications and other operational technology services such as check-in kiosks, baggage handling system, Wi-Fi and CCTV on a single network infrastructure, reducing complexity and operational expenses. In addition, an end-to-end network, service and security management platform will provide TIAC with greater visibility into network performance and health, enabling improved airport operations. TIAC is the busiest airport in Taiwan, handling almost 45 million passengers in 2024. To meet the growing passenger and cargo demand, it is developing a third terminal, expected to be operational in 2027. “Airport networks must always be exceptionally secure with the highest level of network reliability, performance and safety in order to deliver superior experience to the passengers. We have been impressed by the work of Nokia with its partner HwaCom to ensure timely execution of the project,” said an official from the airport.
