Alcatel Transportation Solutions
We help you connect transport systems with technology that works; for your people, your passengers, and your services.

Transportation systems are evolving to meet the needs of a world on the move. From high-speed trains to self-driving cars, transportation solutions are harnessing the power of IP connectivity and the Internet of Things.

Getting people and things where they need to be, as efficiently as possible, is crucial in the transportation industry.

Getting people and things where they need to be, as efficiently as possible, is crucial in the transportation industry. A Communications Platform as a Service (CPaas) lets organizations develop new services to improve communications and collaborations to deliver true digital engagement.

New applications and services such as Rainbow and location-based services (LBS) help deliver a connected passenger experience by providing information about wait times for check-in and security, and location information for gates, restaurants and retail locations.

ALE Transportation solutions:
  • Connect customers for the best transportation experience
  • Connect people and processes securely for speed, comfort and safety
  • Connect transport systems to enhance communications, security and efficiency.
Powering safer, more efficient transport systems

Increase safety: Sensors of every description feed a stream of information on everything from anomalies in speed, temperature and mechanical defects on railways, to the number of cars waiting at an intersection. ALE connected transportation solutions can help transport operators to proactively protect, detect and react by ensuring that critical information is processed and acted on to ensure staff and traveler safety.

Reduce congestion and energy use: Cities and urban regions around the world are facing increasing pressure on commuter systems, from road transportation to airport systems, to railway systems. Congestion is taking a toll on regional economic competitiveness, fuel use and the environment. The right network infrastructure solution lets you scale your resources to meet demand, with the agility to handle anything the rush hour can throw at you.

Improve operational performance: It’s all about improving the decision-making process, optimizing maintenance procedures, sticking to schedules, ensuring coordination and collaboration between stakeholders and fast recovery when operations are interrupted—without breaking the budget. New technologies can make daily operations faster and less expensive. For example, Power over Ethernet (PoE) simplifies device and sensor installation by eliminating wiring in hard-to-reach places. Centralized provisioning and automated deployment help operational personnel set up and start working fast. And, integrating a CPaaS solution, with business processes to provide communication and collaboration services between different stakeholders, is vital in this fast-moving mass transit industry.

We help you connect your airport systems and subsystems with technology that works and supports your passengers, your employees, and your services.

Airport solutions need to address security, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to deliver a connected passenger experience.

Operators are acknowledging the essential role of networks and communications to optimally manage their infrastructure as airport systems evolve to meet the needs of a world on the move.

Public safety and potential cyber-attacks on the airport network infrastructure are primary concerns. With many separate networks such as ticketing kiosks and security cameras that are increasingly connected via an Ethernet network, outside threats are a reality.

 

ALE airport solutions:
  • Connect customers for the best airport experience
  • Connect your people and processes securely for speed, comfort and safety
  • Connect airport infrastructure to enhance communications, security and efficiency
Powering safer, more secure airport systems
  • Increase safety: ALE offers comprehensive layered security based on a hardened operating system that supports network security and application analytics. Devices and users are protected from cyber attacks and data breaches.
  • Reduce security risks: Airport operators are vulnerable to cyber attacks capable of controlling operations and stealing technical, passenger and financial data. The risk of spreading security threats to other segments in the network increases as technology advances to enable the connection of subsystems. The right network infrastructure solution minimizes the risks with layered security that starts with a hardened operating system at the switch level. In addition, IoT containment combined with virtualization and QoS provide optimal operations for IoT systems.
  • The connected passenger: Technologies, such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Wi-Fi onboard and at airport gates and concourses make travel more enjoyable by providing up-to-date travel information, entertainment, social connection and more.
Here’s why airport customers choose ALE
  • Reliable operations: Airport operations benefit from networks with open standards such as Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) with rapid recovery (sub 50ms).
  • Layered security: Comprehensive layered security with IoT containment combines virtualization, security and QoS to provide optimal operation and minimizes security risks.
  • Time-saving: Our award-winning Intelligent Fabric (iFab) technology gets your teams operational faster using self-healing and automated device discovery capabilities.
  • Robustness in ruggedized environments: Hardened Gigabit Ethernet switches designed for outdoor deployment feature Power over Ethernet (PoE) to simplify device and sensor installation.
  • Easy roll-out: A single secure converged network and communications platform that connects with the airport ecosystem for easy command, control and real-time collaboration.
  • Long term support: ALE provides up to 10 years of support on key OmniSwitch products.
