KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 12 (Bernama) -- Malaysia Airlines (MAS) has invested in a new communications solution from Nortel to support its vision of becoming a five-star value carrier by 2012.
A significant component of this transformation is the upgrading of the legacy information technology (IT) network infrastructure at MAS to enable and support strategic and critical airline business activity, Nortel said in a statement here Wednesday.
Nortel is a recognised leader in delivering communications capabilities that make business simple to its customers.
The company said its technologies are designed to help eliminate today's barrier to efficiency, speed and performance by simplifying networks and connecting people.
"Nortel's converged enterprise network solutions stood out from the crowd, providing a secure, future-proof and agile infrastructure that will support our ongoing business transformation through 2012 and beyond," said MAS chief information officer Faridah Abdul Rahman.
Nortel Malaysia general manager for channels and enterprise business, Bernard Chiang, said the Nortel solution will help MAS in achieving its five-star value carrier objectives.
The airline's new enterprise communications infrastructure is built around Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600, a resilient terabit-class enterprise switch that scales to 384 Gigabit Ethernet ports.

I fell asleep on the plane in the way to Borneo. When I woke up and looked out the window I could see the greenery of the Borneo jungle stretching to the horizon. After watching for a few minutes however I noticed that the trees were all in suspiciously straight lines. It turns out that I was looking at a vast palm oil plantation. It was probably rainforest a few years ago.We landed at Sandakan.
