Project LAN Upgrade Project

Technology Implementation, Technology Planning

Minneapolis Saint Paul International Airport (airport code MSP) is in the middle of the twin cities and is also a short driving distance from the Minnesota metropolitan areas of Bloomington, Eagan, Brooklyn Park and Richfield. The airport ranks 15th in North America for passenger traffic and is the 12th busiest in the US with over 32 million travelers annually. The airport has two terminal buildings, Terminal 1-Lindberg and Terminal 2-Humphrey. Twelve air carriers provide non-stop service to 114 domestic and 21 international markets.

Project Description

The technology needs at Minneapolis St. Paul have expanded significantly in recent years. As the Airlines continue to reduce operating costs, the Airport has taken on ownership of numerous antiquated technology systems. In addition, the Information Technology Group is currently planning the upgrade or replacement of numerous core business and security systems.

To support the on-going technology requirements, the Airport is developing a campus-wide, unified local area network to support the data distribution requirements of all technology systems. This network is referred to as the “MACNet”. The JWG is supporting the development of the MACNet by creating design and procurement documentation to purchase, configure, and implement the MACNet. Included in the implementation is the planning and integration activities to consolidate existing networks onto the new MACNet.
