BIA uses RAD’s pseudowire access gateways to strengthen network infrastructure

In its bid to strengthen its network infrastructure, the Bengaluru International Airport (BIA) has chosen to deploy IPmux TDMoIP® pseudowire access gateways from global access technology leader, RAD Data Communications, to integrate its internal network infrastructure with that of its service provider. The standards-compliant IPmux ensures low end-to-end processing delay, configurable packet size to achieve proper balance between PSN throughput and delay, and enhanced buffering mechanism for network packet delay variation.

Pseudowire service emulation technology, which RAD pioneered and first introduced to the market a decade ago, extends legacy voice or data circuits, as well as signaling, across packet networks simply, transparently and economically. By implementing pseudowire solutions, carriers and enterprises can reduce network expenses without compromising functionality or services.

The compact IPmux-1E and the larger capacity IPmux-14 that have been incorporated into BIA’s network provide different port capacities. In addition, RAD’s powerful RADview-SC/TDMoIP® network management system is being used to perform end-to-end provisioning and monitoring of networks.

Expressing his confidence in RAD products, Francis Rajan, Head IT at BIA, said, “RAD products and solutions bring a lot of cost saving for us as we do not have to build and maintain a parallel copper wire infrastructure in the campus now. More importantly, our association with RAD has helped us to offer a level playing field for all service providers so that BIA and its customers can take advantage of multiple service provider presence in the campus”.

“In this project, apart from meeting the existing network‘s technical requirements, our biggest challenge was in delivering and implementing the project within BIA’s limited time frame. I am happy to report that, together with our local partner, MRO-TEK, we successfully met BIA’s expectations,” said Tuhin Dutta, AGM-Business Development, RAD India.
