Smart Airports
in Paris
The digital transformation of Parisian airports is moving
forward. Based on the concept of the smart city, the operator
Groupe ADP is developing the Paris-Charles de Gaulle and
Paris-Orly premises into smart airports. In doing so, ADP
relies on Netscale 48 from R&M as part of the solution.
Groupe ADP’s (Aéroports de Paris) long-term
investment program aims to design mobility
hubs of the future. Innovations for Advanced
Air Mobility (AAM) are constantly being developed
and implemented at the two premises
in Paris-Orly and Paris-Charles de Gaulle.
Terminals and connecting buildings were
recently modernized as part of the framework
of the infrastructure development.
Among other things, Groupe ADP started to
expand its auto bag drop systems last year.
Thanks to digitalization, passengers can check
in their luggage themselves at a total of 460
machines in an average of just 37 seconds.
copper and fiber optic connections in equal
measure.
With Netscale 48, R&M was able to offer the
compelling solution, something confirmed
by Jean-Michel Arondel, Facility and Cabling
Manager, IT technician Arnaud Bonsigne,
and Armando Grilo, Head of the Roissy
Data Center. The project managers from
installation partner BTB Elec. emphasize
the installation convenience of the R&M
products. For BTB Elec., it was important to
be able to carry out the assembly work as
quickly and easily as possible.
The solution for Groupe ADP
For the construction of the data center infrastructures
with more than 180 racks, R&M supplied:
– Patch panels: Netscale 48 for mixed media
distribution
– Connectivity: pre-terminated Cat. 6 A
EL
modules, shielded and LC Duplex
– Patch and trunk cabling: R&M ThinLine
Cat. 6 A
S/FTP, Uniboot LC Duplex and MTP
with OM4 and OS2
- Racks: R&M Tecnosteel cabinets
Netscale 48 meets the expectations of the IT
department for optimized administration of patch
connections for the IT systems. The new network
distributors will support Groupe ADP in rapidly
rolling out additional digital applications for airport
operations.
Netscale 48 integrates copper and fiber optic
connectivity in a single height unit. Despite
the density of the mixed media platform, the
patch cords are easy to operate. Technicians
can unplug and plug in the trunks in just a
few simple steps and thus quickly carry
out changes or maintenance work on the
network.

Recent subprojects included the phased
installation of two data centers. This saw
Paris-Charles de Gaulle get a computer room
with 150 racks. The data center in Paris-Orly
has a capacity of 30 racks.

Optimal use of racks
A key concern of the planners was to
compress the passive side of the network
infrastructure and make optimal use of the
valuable racks. The patch panels should occupy
as few height units as possible in order
to free up space for the active hardware. The
patch panels were to support the patching of
