SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Aruba Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARUN), a global leader in wireless LANs and secure unified mobility solutions, today announced that BAA, one of the world’s leading airport authorities, has selected Aruba as its wireless LAN vendor of choice and has deployed Aruba’s wireless infrastructure throughout Heathrow Terminal 5. Arup, BAA’s design consultant for Terminal 5 communication infrastructure, designed the secure wireless infrastructure to boost operational efficiency and support advanced mobile applications – from baggage handling to retail outlets – throughout the entire facility. BAA selected Aruba following an extensive tendering process and detailed evaluation against other vendors in BAA’s £1M test and certification facility built specifically to support the development of IT systems at Terminal 5.

“We selected Aruba as the corporate standard for BAA because it met the security, resilience, scalability and flexibility needs of large infrastructure deployments,” said Kevin Fallon, Commercial Leader, T5 Systems at BAA. “Terminal 5 is enormous - it would be one of the largest airports in Europe in its own right. Terminal 5 will deliver one of the finest passenger experiences of any airport, and the infrastructure must be able to support the demands placed upon it.”
