Sydney Trains is upgrading its network with Ciena’s 6500 Packet-Optical Platform to improve public services across its transportation system with a reliable data network. The deployment will support critical passenger safety measures that ensure trains operate at safe distances.
Sydney Trains is building a network that enhances support of customer safety and critical train operations by investing in both 100G transport and Optical Transport Network (OTN) switching solutions.
Sydney Trains has various sites along its network that have different traffic requirements. The flexibility of Ciena’s 6500 Packet Optical Platform supports these end-to-end services and various system configurations, including deployments over long distances and fiber types such as aerial.
This network upgrade aids the transportation provider to transition from an SDH legacy network, and lays the foundation required to support future high capacity service requirements.
“For transportation providers, migrating their communication networks by deploying Packet-optical technologies is key to continually improving safety measures and optimizing passenger services,” said Anthony McLachlan, vice president and general manager, Asia Pacific, Ciena.
