08.06.09
BAA is to spend £137m over the next five years on overhauling the IT infrastructure at Heathrow, vnu reports. Its Capital Investment Plan (CIP), published last month, highlighted four major IT projects are required.
A £7.8m telecoms programme will replace Heathrow’s data network and switch all telephones to voice over IP. The objective of the project is to provide a ‘reliable, supportable’ network to better support airlines and customers. The airport operational systems project has a £57.1m budget, and aims to develop a simpler, cheaper IT architecture for Heathrow, covering areas including airfield and terminal support, security, queue management, access control and asset management.
A £30.3m IT infrastructure renewal will update systems supporting the airport, including data centres, servers and software infrastructure, IT security, wireless networking, network management and customer support. And a £39.6m initiative will overhaul the systems used for business planning, to improve management information and simplify systems.
