Another contract. Lucent Wires Continental Airlines' New Headquarters With High-Speed Cabling Solution PR Newswire - April 21, 1998 09:00 HOUSTON, April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Lucent Technologies today announced an agreement to wire Continental Airline's new headquarters facility in Houston with Lucent's SYSTIMAX(R) GigaSPEED(TM) Solution, a high-speed cabling system designed to deliver reliable communications for voice, data and video applications at speeds up to 1.2 gigabits per second. "Continental Airlines relies on its communications infrastructure to meet people's travel needs -- it is the lifeline of our business," said John Gana, manager of telecommunications at Continental Airlines. "Lucent's GigaSPEED system gives us a flexible, high-speed communications network that supports the technologies we use most today and provides a platform for future communication applications." Continental's new headquarters will occupy 800,000 sq. ft. in a state-of-the-art downtown Houston facility that will house the company's business operations including it's new Systems Operations Center, responsible for tracking the airline's fleet of jets using one of the most sophisticated systems in the airline industry. The installation, expected to be complete by year's end, includes some three million feet of Lucent's GigaSPEED copper cabling and over 38,000 MGS200 GigaSPEED information outlets. The flexibility of the system provides each desktop workstation with four separate connections to support voice, video and data requirements, making moves and changes as easy as plugging into a new jack. "We knew that Continental would need secure, reliable data transmission throughout its entire network, but especially in its Systems Operations Center," said Peter Karlsson, a general manager at Lucent Technologies. "Our GigaSPEED solution provides Continental with network speed and transmission reliability, and protects Continental's investment for years to come." Lucent Technologies' SYSTIMAX GigaSPEED solution features a traditional four-pair design that exceeds the Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronic Industry Association 568A standard and offers unmatched performance. The SYSTIMAX GigaSPEED patented design helps to prevent signals from interfering with other cable pairs during transmission, enabling signals to be carried at a constant level at high frequencies. This means fewer data transmission errors associated with crosstalk, or interference. The company has 15 patents pending for its GigaSPEED solution. Lucent recently extended its product and applications assurance warranty on SYSTIMAX SCS from 15 to 20 years for a complete certified GigaSPEED system. With this warranty, end users are assured that current or future applications that meet specified standards will operate over this system. Lucent's SYSTIMAX GigaSPEED solution was designed and developed by Bell Labs, the research and development arm of Lucent Technologies. The GigaSPEED family of products is designed to support current and future applications up to 200 MHz, where today's systems cannot operate. It is manufactured at the company's Omaha Works in Nebraska, and internationally at Lucent's facilities in Brisbane, Australia and Bray, Ireland. The SYSTIMAX GigaSPEED solution is available through Lucent's authorized SYSTIMAX SCS distributors and value added resellers, including Anixter, Inc. and Network Cabling Services, the distributor and reseller for the Continental Airlines project. Continental is the fifth largest airline in the U.S., offering more than 2,000 departures daily to 122 domestic and 70 international destinations. Operating major hubs in Newark, Houston, Cleveland and Guam, Continental is strategically positioned for TransContinental travel, and offers extensive service to Latin America and Europe via its Houston and Newark gateways. Recently, Continental became the only airline in history to earn the Frequent Flyer Magazine/J.D. Power and Associates award two years in a row for best customer satisfaction on long-haul flights. Lucent Technologies, headquartered at Murray Hill.
