Taipei, Taiwan – Taoyuan International Airport Corporation (TIAC) has selected Nokia to deliver a comprehensive upgrade of its communications and data infrastructure across Terminals 1 and 2.
The deployment, executed alongside HwaCom Systems, replaces and expands the existing network with an Internet Protocol (IP)/multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) solution to enhance reliability, security, and operational efficiency.
“Airport networks must always be exceptionally secure with the highest level of network reliability, performance and safety in order to deliver a superior experience to the passengers,” director of information and communications technology department at Taoyuan International Airport Corporation commented.
They added, “We have been impressed by the work of Nokia with its partner HwaCom to ensure timely execution of the project.”
The upgraded system consolidates voice, data, video communications and operational technology services—including check-in kiosks, baggage handling systems, Wi-Fi and CCTV—onto a single, integrated network.
“We are honoured to be chosen for this prestigious project, executed in collaboration with our partner HwaCom,” Stuart Hendry, vice president, enterprise sales for network infrastructure at Nokia Asia Pacific, commented.
He added, “Nokia’s IP/MPLS solution will help Taoyuan International Airport improve airport safety and operations while reducing energy consumption.”
This modernised infrastructure simplifies operations, improves network management, and reduces operational costs, while providing advanced visibility into network performance to support more efficient airport operations.
Handling nearly 45 million passengers in 2024, Taoyuan International Airport is Taiwan’s busiest airport. To meet increasing passenger and cargo demand, the airport is constructing a third terminal, scheduled to open in 2027.
The network upgrade is part of TIAC’s strategy to strengthen resilience, improve operational performance, and position the airport as a leading regional hub.
The solution incorporates Nokia’s 7750 Service Router, 7250 Interconnect Routers, and 7210 Service Access System, alongside the Network Service Platform to streamline and automate network operations. The infrastructure modernisation is expected to enhance airport safety, optimise operational efficiency, and reduce energy consumption across the facility.
