Enterprise networking vendor Huawei has presented how its eLTE voice trunking and broadband data solution assists Indian railways to offer voice and broadband data connections between on board and ground based functions.
“We collaborate with more than 50 partners with industry specific expertise to build connected railways that enhance connections within railways, among people, and between railways and its passengers,” said Daniel Jiang, president Huawei Enterprise Business, India, speaking at IRSTE (Institute of Railway Signal and Telecommunication Engineers) in Delhi.
Huawei has provided solutions for more than 84,500 kilometers of railway lines including 44,000 kilometers of GSM-R.
The Chinese networking supplier said its rail transport solutions aim to improve transport capacity, facilitate communications between control centers, railway sections and stations to maximize the usage of network resources; and provide an information platform to deliver digital services to passenger and freight rail operators.
