Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise technology ensures the UK’s National Measurement Institute will continue to perform world-leading research

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is an internationally respected center of scientific research and development into the measurement used in science – specifically on the uncertainty and conformity of measurement standards used across the world.

The laboratory is still growing in size and plans to recruit additional scientists over the next couple of years. It is not just staff numbers that are growing at NPL either, the size of files involved in the research undertaken are getting larger, meaning that a faster, more reliable and ‘state of the art’ network was required.

NPL turned to Alcatel-Lucent to solve their biggest network challenges.

Challenges included:

• Existing network infrastructure had reached its end of life
• Scientific data became larger and harder to move around the network
• NPL needed to increase speed and reliability of the network
