Nortel Network Case Study: Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara Aktiebolag (LKAB)

Tags: ethernet, productivity, network, business process

Overview Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara Aktiebolag (LKAB) is a world-class iron ore products and services company owned by the Swedish State. It is the only iron ore exporter within the European Union, thus earning the reputation as "Europe's home mine". In order to compete in the changing environment noted for mergers and mine closures, LKAB needed to find a way to improve their business process while driving down costs. LKAB implemented a new network based on Nortel Networks Passport 8600 (now known as Ethernet Routing Switch 8600) Gigabit backbone connecting remote locations with BayStack 450 switches (now known as Ethernet Switch 450) and managed by Optivity Network Management System 9.2 (now known as Enterprise Network Management System) for the improved reliability and performance to fully automate production and improve user satisfaction and productivity.
