NEW DELHI: Global provider of telecommunications, enterprise and consumer technology solutions for the Mobile Internet, ZTE has announced the launch of the LTE-R broadband network solution to bring next-generation performance and improved safety to rail operators.
Making its debut at the UIC HIGHSPEED conference in Tokyo, ZTE’s LTE-R solution offers superior capabilities for video group calls, group, private, emergency and broadcast calls and call priority functions.
Based on the latest B-TrunC standard, the new LTE-R solution is also compatible with GSM-R systems, while also supporting the FAS system, multimedia dispatching and the PLMN/PSTN networks. The new solution also offers multimedia trunked dispatching, video phones, real-time video surveillance and release of comprehensive passenger information.
Trunking performance indicators show the new LTE-R solution delivers large performance improvements compared to existing GSM-R railway communication systems and LTE upper-layer applications. End-to-end call setup delay is less than 350 milliseconds, while floor seizure delay is less than 200 milliseconds.
“The new LTE-Rtechnology helps rail operators improves operations, maintenance and security,” said Sun Mingliang, VP of ZTE.
“As a leading provider of high-performance broadband network solutions to rail operators, ZTE is committed to deliver ongoing improvements in our products and services,” said Mingliang.
The LTE-R solution comprises systems for video surveillance and passenger information, developed with TAU technology, offering enhanced railway security. Video surveillance is used in dangerous railway areas and on train carriages to improve rail operations, maintenance and emergency response, providing passengers with updated travel information, news and online resources.
Additionally, ZTE’s innovative portable railway emergency equipment integrates the BaseBand Unit, Remote Radio Unit and CN equipment into a 20-inch trolley case to provide on-site relief during railway emergencies.
