MUNICH, Germany and BASKING RIDGE, N.J., June 12 /PRNewswire/ --
For Avaya, the Official Convergence Communication provider for the
2006 FIFA World Cup and a leading global provider of business
communications applications, systems and services, months of
planning meet the final test as terabytes of data race over wired
and wireless, public and private, IP networks from origin to goal
for the world's biggest sporting event. To view the Multimedia News
Release, go to: http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/avaya/24641/ Equipped
with sophisticated remote monitoring and trouble resolution tools,
the FIFA IT Command Center in Munich and the Avaya Network
Operations Center in Coppell, Texas continuously track the FIFA
network performance -- all 30,000 devices, all 45,000 network
connections across 70 locations -- for twenty four hours per day,
every single day beginning weeks before the first kick-off to the
final match on July 9. The mission: optimal functionality, no
security breaches, and 99.999 percent or better uptime. The Avaya
network will be used by journalists, stadium officials, volunteers,
the Local Organizing Committee, even referees and players to
communicate with each other and with fans throughout the games over
phone, Internet and video. Thirty-two teams, FIFA executives and
employees, countless officials and visiting dignitaries will all
depend on the transportation and protocol application to get to
hotels, cars, trains and airports. Worker and spectator
accreditation and ticketing requirements vie for network space
needed to send photos, player information and game results
instantaneously around the globe.
