Reference project Infineon DRAM 300 

Communication network for the chip factory Infineon in Dresden

Construction schedule: February 2000 - July 2001
Implementation of IT network: Sept. 2000 -
June 2001

Within the international manufacturing network of Infineon, the fab in Dresden is the reference site for the DRAM "Fab Cluster" (the manufacturing network with production facilities in Europe, Asia and the USA).
The project for setting up the new 300 mm production line (SC 300) set new standards with regard to the demands made on project management and the implementation team. In a considerably shorter time than for comparable projects, we managed to install 60% more terminals and more than two and a half times as many connections. An expansion project saw a 100% increase in the office area. Furthermore, we were able to fulfil the tasks, which were implemented using cutting-edge technology, at considerably less cost to project management than originally expected.

Network topology

• Double-star backbone structure (redundant Gigabit Ethernet network)
• Terminal connection to "switched" 10/100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps Ethernet ports
• High redundancy and low convergence times for maximum availability

Network expansion

• 12 km: 24-fiber optical fiber
• 2,500 splices
• 10 km: prefabricated optical fiber technology
• Installation of approx. 4,500 monomode or multimode fiber connections

Project specifications

• Passive network DRAM 300
  • Fiber optic network DRAM 300
  • 13.5 km 24-fiber outdoor cable
  • 11 km 24-fiber indoor cable
  • Future-proof due to Class F system (1200 MHz)
  • 350 km Category 7 cabling
  • 7,200 passive ports
  • 2,568 fabs (Building 32)
  • 2,664 offices (Building 02)
• Active network components
  • Dimensioned for high availability and redundancy
  • Gigabit Ethernet backbone
  • Fast Ethernet 10/100 for clients
  • Approx. 6,700 active ports
• TK installation HICOM 300
  • Unified Messaging

Scope of services

• IT consulting, IT planning, project and site management,
  IT implementation
