Jaguar Land Rover Technology & Business Services India Pvt. Ltd. (JLR)

High-Performance IT Passive Cabling Infrastructure for Engineering and Digital Delivery Centers in Bangalore and Pune

Jaguar Land Rover Technology & Business Services India Pvt. Ltd. (JLR) operates advanced engineering, software development, and digital transformation centres in Bangalore and Pune. These facilities support global product development, vehicle software engineering, data analytics, simulation environments, connected mobility platforms, and enterprise IT operations. To sustain the massive data loads generated by automotive R&D and digital engineering workflows, JLR required a next-generation passive cabling infrastructure engineered for speed, resilience, and uncompromised performance.

Orchids Network & Systems (I) Pvt. Ltd. was selected to architect and deploy a high-throughput, low-latency cabling ecosystem designed to support JLR’s current and future engineering technology demands.

Project Objective

JLR needed a unified, enterprise-grade structured cabling framework capable of powering high-density development zones, simulation labs, testing environments, cloud-integration systems, and collaboration platforms used across engineering and IT teams. The infrastructure had to deliver stable network performance with minimal interference, ensure predictable data transport across departments, and comply with global engineering IT standards used across Jaguar Land Rover worldwide.

The objective was not only to upgrade the passive cabling but to create a resilient digital backbone capable of supporting emerging automotive technologies including autonomous systems, AI-driven engineering tools, connected vehicle platforms, and real-time data processing.

Engineering-Grade Structured Cabling Architecture

Orchids deployed a unified structured cabling system across Bangalore and Pune using CAT6A shielded copper for workstation, engineering pod, and lab-level connectivity. This shielded architecture was essential for mitigating electromagnetic interference common in high-tech engineering environments.

A multi-layered fiber backbone was designed to interconnect server rooms, simulation zones, testing facilities, and collaborative workspaces. This ensured high-bandwidth, low-latency communication between systems, enabling smooth operation of compute-heavy engineering applications and continuous synchronization with JLR’s global data centers.

Each cabling route was engineered with precision containment, optimized bend radii, and separation guidelines to protect data integrity. All installations were certified to international standards, validating performance consistency across both locations.

Infrastructure Designed for Automotive Digital Engineering Workloads

JLR’s engineering teams rely on computational tools such as CAD, CAE, virtual vehicle modeling, AI training datasets, and large-scale simulation engines. Orchids delivered a passive layer optimized specifically for these workloads.

The cabling design enabled efficient data movement between engineering clusters, ensuring predictable throughput for heavy file exchanges, rapid model rendering, and real-time collaborative development. The infrastructure supports high-speed communication essential for global engineering cycles, allowing teams in India to work seamlessly with counterparts in the UK, Europe, and North America.

Multi-Location Synchronization and Controlled Deployment

The project required uniform infrastructure across both Bangalore and Pune to maintain JLR’s global technology standards. Orchids followed a synchronized deployment model that ensured identical engineering, documentation, labelling, and certification frameworks for both sites.

Work was executed with zero disruption to active engineering activities. Phased execution, off-peak implementation windows, and precise coordination with JLR’s IT leadership ensured operational continuity throughout the upgrade.

A central project office managed quality checks, change controls, and tracking systems, enabling transparent progress visibility and complete alignment with JLR’s internal compliance requirements.

Compliance, Safety and Audit Integration

All cabling pathways and components were designed in compliance with Jaguar Land Rover’s global IT specifications, network policies, and safety standards. Segregated pathways were created for production networks, engineering networks, and internal corporate networks. Tamper-proof containment, traceable documentation, and standardized labeling ensured audit-ready infrastructure across both sites.

Security and Compliance Integration

Given the sensitivity of aviation R&D, the cabling infrastructure was designed with strict adherence to Airbus’ internal audit frameworks and international security guidelines. Tamper-proof enclosures, segregated cabling for secure and open networks, controlled access to network pathways, and redundant backbone planning ensured reliable and compliant data transport across all engineering zones.

Outcome and Measurable Impact

JLR’s Bangalore and Pune centers now operate on a highly reliable, future-proof passive cabling backbone engineered for engineering-grade performance. Data throughput improved significantly due to optimized shielding and fiber-based backbone configuration. Latency between engineering clusters and server rooms dropped substantially, enabling faster iteration cycles, improved simulation rendering, and enhanced collaboration across global engineering teams.

The infrastructure supports next-generation engineering tools, cloud-connected vehicle platforms, and software-driven automotive development programs. With standardized documentation and consistent layouts, maintenance and future scaling have become significantly more efficient for JLR’s internal teams.
