Nokia Advances Singapore’s Changi Airport’s Digital Transformation with Beaqon

Nokia is deploying its passive optical local area network (POL) solution at Changi Airport, Singapore with solution integrator, Beaqon. The new network will support existing operations and enable new services to advance Changi Airport’s digital transformation.

By deploying Nokia Optical LAN, it will be able to support existing CCTV operations as well as intelligent subsystems.

Stuart Hendry, Head of Enterprise, Asia Pacific and Japan, Nokia said, “Changi Airport has a clear mission to become the world’s leading digital air hub, transforming its operations efficiently and securely to deliver a seamless travel experience for passengers. As a leader in Passive Optical Network (PON) solutions, we are committed to leveraging fiber technology to offer enterprises a quicker and cost-effective way to deploy LANs. We will partner closely with Beaqon as it transforms operations at Changi Airport.”

Nokia Optical LAN leverages the bandwidth capabilities of fiber to cover greater distances than copper LAN networks in a smaller footprint. It offers a flexible, scalable and sustainable way to connect applications, and address growing data demands while reducing capital and operational expenditure.

The network will use the Nokia PCC to simplify network monitoring and operations even as Changi Airport expands connectivity to thousands more sensors and devices as it introduces new digital capabilities. The network will use geo-redundancy to ensure data is secure and always available.
