the main criteria for the project
team in choosing R&M solution
for this project.
R&M also provided special
on-site training and support
services ensuring the correct
handling and installation
of products as per quality
guidelines and industry
standard best practices. R&M
understood the needs of the
customer and customised
the solutions based on
the customer’s request.
This solution resulted in
greater availability, security,
modularity, flexibility and
customisation, while ensuring
cost-effectiveness as well.
provisioned. This network connects and
supports key airport systems. R&MinteliPhy, the automated infrastructure
management system.
Each of the systems has required
customisation of the cabling, including
specific colour coding. R&M was chosen
as a partner for this project because it
demonstrated extensive expertise in large-
scale projects for the aviation sector. For an airport of this scale,
what were the unique cabling
requirements and how did R&M
deliver on these?
What innovative products,
solutions and services has the
airport deployed?
R&M’s current scope of the project consists
of supplying materials to implement the
cabling infrastructure. This includes:
• LAN Cabling for the airport buildings for
all the ICT systems
• Entire airport campus building backbone
cabling and distribution as part of the
outside plant
• The two data centres of the airport facilities
The project involves various network
systems such as ICT, security, and police
and customs networks, each requiring
customisation. IGA’s Datacenter
Infrastructure is designed with R&M’s latest
and most innovative products including
Netscale, the world’s highest fibre port
density for 10/40/100G Ethernet and

Airport network connectivity needs high
availability, security and density.
R&M's Netscale Solution combines
unmatched fibre cable management
with automated connectivity tracking by
R&MinteliPhy. The R&MinteliPhy system
offers real-time physical connectivity
monitoring of the network, enabling the
airport infrastructure manager to have full
control over the physical network during the
operation in real time.
With R&MinteliPhy, data centres optimise
their management and their infrastructure
processes. The system records and monitors
the network configuration centrally and in real
time, resulting in greater transparency, more
efficient management of quality and risks,
improved compliance and successful audits.
R&M products provide modularity and
flexibility for changes at any time in the
future. Seamless upgrade of network,
capacity and cost effictiveness were some of
What are your
expectations about
this airport project for
the midterm as a
reflection to your new projects?
What are the advantages it can
bring to you, especially for your
international projects?
R&M has benefited from its participation
on this unique project. R&M dedicated
additional effort to adapt and be
flexible in supporting changing project
requirements and scope of the project in
terms of material. New technologies like
Netscale (released during the execution of
the project) were swiftly and seamlessly
integrated into the project. Delivery
planning together with project progress
requirement required a great amount of
coordination with different contractors.
Some of the challenges overcome included
the continous training of the installation
teams on both fibre and copper technologies.
Having dedicated resources at IGA ensured
coordination with material planning, delivery
and on-site support activities.
The project management team assisted
in proactively identifying challenges,
providing solutions and taking the project
to a successful completion.R&M provided
a dedicated engineer to support on a daily
basis in material planning and on-site
support activities. n
