Biman Bangladesh Airlines to Enhance Operations
with SITA Connect Go
(20/07/23)
Biman Bangladesh Airlines is to adopt a suite of
connectivity solutions from SITA that will increase network speeds, optimize
the airline's operations, and reduce expansion costs.
SITA
Connect Go is a new Secure SD-WAN (software-defined wide area
network) solution that was designed specifically for the air
transport industry in partnership with Versa
Networks, a recognized secure access service edge (SASE) leader.
"Ensuring our airline's applications and systems
are optimized is critical," said Shafiul Azim, MD & CEO of Biman Bangladesh Airlines.
"With SITA Connect, we can infuse our
entire operation with lightning-fast and secure connections that
can be adapted over time as we scale. We're delighted about the
planned growth from 21 aircraft to 45 by 2030 and look forward to
ensuring smooth and reliable air travel for passengers in the
coming years."
The software-based solution allows multiple airlines,
ground handlers and other tenants to digitally transform at
whatever pace they choose. Secure access is provided to
virtualized applications and infrastructure at airports and in the
cloud, delivering more scalable and agile performance.
The
deployment will improve the airline's performance by giving the IT
operations team a granular view and full visibility into their
network usage and application performance.
Such insights enable better
decision-making and critical business application performance, and
it
is all managed through a centralized platform that simplifies
network management and orchestration.
SITA Connect
solutions will empower Biman with an increased bandwidth of up to
600%, enabling the flexibility to connect quickly and securely to
applications and systems at their town and airport offices.
Sumesh Patel,
President, Asia Pacific, SITA, said, "We're thrilled to
commemorate a 50-year partnership with Biman Bangladesh Airlines
and provide the latest cutting-edge connectivity solutions
that will be the foundations for their next growth chapter.
Connectivity is the backbone of our industry, and smart,
efficient, and agile technology operations will be the defining
factor for success in this next era of air transport. We're
excited to support Biman Bangladesh Airlines in their ambitious plans and look forward to
many more years of powerful collaboration."
