Juniper Networks supports South Korea’s Airport Railroad Express for smarter, safer operations

 KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 17 -- Juniper Networks’ solutions have been chosen by Airport Railroad Express (AREX) in upgrading to a modern all-IP based communications network.

AREX is South Korea’s first domestic railway to feature an all-IP based communications network that integrates wired and wireless networks, enabling efficient network deployment as well as strengthened security and stability via MPLS VPN.

A major priority was the upgrade of its communication network which plays a vital role in ensuring uninterrupted data transmissions to the railway’s numerous technological systems.

According to a statement, this includes systems across signaling, supervisory control and data acquisition, video surveillance and wired/wireless networks.

Juniper Networks was identified and selected for the upgrade – which was to build out a modern IP/MPLS communications network using AI-driven solutions – improving the stability of AREX’s mission-critical systems while supporting the delivery of reliable train services.

Juniper’s routing and switching solutions provide the foundation of AREX’s secure, reliable and flexible all-IP based communications network across multiple deployment sites, while enabling the unified transmission of multiple services.

AREX has also introduced an integrated operations management system that unifies communication protocols and facility maintenance systems, improving efficiency across operations and fault management.

The company can now continuously improve the overall commuting experience with the additional flexibility to expand its IoT infrastructure with extra bandwidth and redundancy.
