Qatar Airways has awarded SITA
a five-year, $30m (£16m) contract to build and maintain an advanced
telecommunications network infrastructure.
The network will connect all of the airline’s outstations to its
reservations host, thus creating a fully-managed networked
environment.
SITA is creating a fully-managed global intranet which uses a
suite of TCP/IP protocols operating over SITA’s IP Virtual Private
Network (IP VPN).
Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker, said, “SITA will seamlessly
connect our offices in the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific and
Europe, and the network will improve the effectiveness of our
business applications.”
He added, “It will also help us bridge the information and
communication barriers that in the past have typified far-reaching
global operations. SITA has demonstrated that they have both the
technological expertise and solution required to meet our
communication needs, both now, and in the future.“
