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

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

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