ARINC Uses Dataprobe Technology at Japan's Narita Airport

Dataprobe, a manufacturer of networking technology systems, partnered with ARINC to provide Narita's Terminal 1 with a congruent, efficient and dependable data communications infrastructure.

Narita recently awarded ARINC a contract to optimize the data communications infrastructure within the new terminal.  ARINC in turn chose to deploy Dataprobe's K-16 Series switches in the core of the network - which was atypical because of its numerous connections - to provide remote management capabilities, automated fault detection, and a reliable switchover capability in order to create a fault-tolerant system.

Terminal 1, with its 37 gates, officially opened on June 2nd, and features a record 126 CUSS (common-use self-service) check-in kiosks and desks to accommodate Star Alliance airlines including ANA, Air Canada, Asiana Airlines, Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa, SAS Scandinavian Airlines, Swiss International Air Lines, Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways, and United Airlines.  09-03-2006.
