GV Sanjay Reddy, managing director of MIAL, said this overhaul is part of MIAL's long-term program aimed at expanding the capacity at CSIA and making communications as seamless as possible for anyone who visits or works at the airport.

 
Reddy believes that the state-of-the-art changes will help raise CSIA to global standards, equipping it with technology that meets or even exceeds what is currently present at top airports across the world.

 
“The Indian aviation industry is poised for huge growth and to support such dramatic growth the airport infrastructure needs to be scalable, resilient and future proof,” said Ravi Chauhan, managing director, Nortel India.

 
Chauhan continued: “With its depth of expertise across optical, Ethernet and enterprise technologies, Nortel is uniquely positioned to help airports like CSIA blend advanced core infrastructure with the latest applications to improve and simplify the airport experience while also providing new revenue-generating opportunities.”

S. Venkatramani, India geography head with TCS, said that they will design, program manage and implement this state-of-the-art network that will seamlessly integrate various stakeholders within the airport eco-system.

 
“This will serve as a backbone to support MIAL's long term vision of leveraging technology for revenue generation and benchmark it against the most efficient airports in the world,” he concluded.
