BT has signed a contract with FIAT Group Automobiles Germany AG to provide their new German headquarters in Frankfurt with state-of-the-art telecommunications and networking technology.

The fitting out of FIAT’s new flagship HQ on Frankfurt’s Hanauer Landstrasse, the so-called “Auto Mile”, will involve equipping the new building with comprehensive, highly advanced telecommunication infrastructure.

Under the terms of the agreement BT will install and operate an advanced Local Area Network (LAN) and wireless network access (WiFi) throughout the whole building. The project also includes the connection of the location to the MPLS Wide Area Network (WAN) that BT already operates for FIAT Group Automobiles Germany AG, the Internet access including firewall, and a high-speed link to the BT data center in Frankfurt. The mobile workers of FIAT Group Automobiles Germany AG will also be equipped with BT MobileXpress so that they can easily and securely connect to the corporate network even while they are away from the office.
