With NERIST physically divided into two campuses across a very rugged terrain, opting for higher-bandwidth connectivity through regular cabling would have been an expensive and time-consuming process. Using Nortel’s wireless solutions, the Institute can boast of high-speed connectivity across its entire campus as well as complete mobility for its students and staff. WiMAX is used as the last-mile, high-speed broadband access technology linking the two campuses. Users at both campus sites can access the Institute’s network infrastructure using the Wireless Mesh network solution. So, while the two campuses may be physically divided by the terrain, the entire campus area is unified by a single secure network that can be accessed from anywhere in the Institute.

Nortel’s WiMAX solution delivers many advantages to the Institute. Not only does the solution provide high-bandwidth capabilities across several kilometers, but it is also available from Nortel in the unlicensed 5.8 GHz band. This means that the Institute can use existing spectrum, saving the cost of licensing. The solution provides high-bandwidth capabilities, opening up opportunities for innovative educational techniques like video conferencing, tele-classrooms, webcasts of lectures for distance learning, and mobile desktop/laptop-based video conferencing. Students can access resources wherever they are instead of having to go to a central location, like the library or computer center.

“NERIST anticipates over 70 percent savings on network operational costs by selecting Nortel’s Wireless Mesh Network technology rather than a standard WiFi solution,” said Hitesh Lokhandwala, managing director, Nortel India. “Key to the reliability of the solution is the mesh network’s ability to dynamically and seamlessly reroute traffic across individual access points with zero disruption. Add to that, the reduced capital expenditure of not requiring network connections to each access point as WiFi does. Also, the range of the mesh solution is typically around five to six times greater than standard WiFi. With all this, the combined Wireless Mesh/WiMAX solution is very beneficial.”

Nortel’s Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is a secure, highly scalable solution that delivers low cost wireless broadband for outdoor or expansive indoor areas. The students and staff benefit from an always-on broadband network that gives them the flexibility to connect and work any time, from any place on the Institute’s campus. The WiMAX network delivers blazingly high speeds giving students and staff an uninterrupted medium for data, voice and video access. In a hyperconnected era, Nortel is enabling NERIST to provide its 1600+ inhabitants with the high-speed, pervasive connectivity they demand.

AvientCrew, is an intricately designed Crew Management system that optimizes crew utilization and maximizes crew productivity throughout an airline’s operating environment, providing real-time alerting, crew data management as well as real-time solutions and decision support functions for problem solving. AvientCrew will help KLM manage all aspects of their crew operations from the handover of the plans from their vacation and rostering systems, to the period beyond the day of operations, allowing for the consistent monitoring and identification of problems as they arise, thus improving overall crew tracking performance while reducing disruption costs.

Forty selected KLM users along with business analysts and project architects tested both systems thoroughly before IBS’ AvientCrew was accepted as the best overall solution and IBS the chosen business partner to KLM.

About KLM

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is an international airline operating worldwide. KLM forms the core of the KLM Group, other members being KLM cityhopper and transavia.com. KLM merged with Air France in 2004 in a business model that is unique in the aviation industry. Under the Air France-KLM holding company, both KLM and Air France operate as network airlines: via hubs, or transfer airports, they maintain a worldwide network of services to European and intercontinental destinations. KLM and Air France complement each other through the optimal alignment of their networks and through the coordination of their three core activities: passenger transport, cargo transport and aircraft maintenance.

The ships are designed to meet the highest demands for safe and economic transportation of goods in geographies such as the Eastern Mediterranean, Africa, and Latin America. In addition, each vessel is equipped with a waste heat recovery system. The system reuses excess heat from the exhaust and thus generates energy for propulsion of the vessel or on-board electricity consumption. The reduction in fuel consumption results in a corresponding reduction of emissions. It is the first time that an Asian yard will install a waste heat recovery system of this size and efficiency.

"We are very happy with this order. These vessels are part of our fleet renewal and development programme. They will enable us to continue to offer competitive container shipping based on a modern, economical, and environmentally friendly fleet," says Senior Vice President Michel Deleuran, Head of Network & Product in Maersk Line.

In view of the flexible design of the vessels, Maersk Line will work on a variety of deployment scenarios. Currently, we expect to deploy the vessels in the trades to and from Sub-Saharan Africa.

Michel Deleuran explains, "We have served the Sub-Saharan African market for more than 40 years, and we are dedicated to support the continued trade development in the region. We aim to continue to develop our services and support our customers' increasing business in the trades between Sub-Saharan Africa and the Americas, Europe, and Asia. These vessels will support us in that ambition and also show our long term commitment to Africa."

Today, Maersk Line has a 25% market share in Sub-Saharan Africa and own offices in 35 countries in the region. Customers are offered fixed weekly services in most trades, the best schedule integrity in terms of port calls, coverage and timeliness, and transit times are among the best in the market.

In Sub-Saharan Africa, the average export growth is currently 7% p.a. The average import growth is 11% p.a. Since 2002, export and import volumes have almost doubled. To support this development, the A.P. Moller - Maersk Group is not only involved in container shipping (Maersk Line, Safmarine, and Ocean Africa Container Line), but also in other container related activities such as terminals, stevedoring, logistics, warehousing and rail transportation.

"During the last 50 years, container transportation has been a key driver in globalization. Our business is about connecting the globe and we believe globalization based on fair and free trade is a winning proposition for Sub-Saharan Africa. Every day, our efforts and services contribute to improving world trade and thereby the living standards of people around the world," concludes Michel Deleuran.

The share of software expenditures in each segment varies considerably as well across each one from planning to implementation. The relatively immature technological state of the sector overall coupled to its sluggish and haphazard growth pattern over the past few years and the lingering uncertainty about positive significant changes in the scale of Government investments in infra-structure makes it an extremely difficult process to handle and the kind of processes involved has been one of the major reasons why there is a huge requirement in the field to have ERP softwares and solutions coming up with such features as presented by IMT eBuild™.
