The network is a secure Ethernet virtual private network (VPN) set up as a local area network (LAN) with separate transmission paths for data, voice and images. While two and three factor identification guarantees secure access, a firewall infrastructure protects against attacks. High network availability can reach up to 100 percent and is guaranteed to be at least 99.998 percent. An on-site T-Systems service team, which is available 24/7, provides active monitoring. Operating costs are low and transparent thanks to a port price model and firewall invoicing based on rules and connections. Flexible network expansion supports airport growth.

The solution

Set-up and operation of a separate Ethernet VPN that connects all departments and applications
Set-up and operation of a complex firewall infrastructure for WAN access
24/7 proactive monitoring
Secure access guaranteed by two and three factor identification
