Nokia won a contract to upgrade Taoyuan International Airport Corporation’s communications network with its IP/MPLS equipment to replace and expand the current system in its two existing terminals.

The vendor explained the upgrade would consolidate voice, data, video communications and other services including check-in kiosks, the baggage handling system, Wi-Fi and CCTV on a single network to reduce complexity and operational expenses.

In addition to installing a range of routers, Nokia plans to deploy its network service platform to automate and simplify operations.

Stuart Hendry, VP of enterprise sales for Network Infrastructure at Nokia Asia Pacific, said the equipment would improve airport safety and operations while reducing energy consumption.

HwaCom Systems, a provider of telecoms integrated services, is to aid int the deployment.

The airport is 40km west of Taipei and is Taiwan’s largest, handling nearly 45 million passengers in 2024.
