Nokia lands railway comms, optical networking wins across Asia | Computer Weekly
"Explaining the project taking place in Thailand's capital, Nokia said that railway systems worldwide are undergoing digital transformation to enhance operational efficiency, reliability and safety. The new internet protocol/multi-protocol label switching (IP/MPLS)-based mission-critical backbone transmission network (BTN) will be deployed on BEM's 35.9 km mass rapid transit (MRT) Orange Line, which is due to be completed by 2030. The line will connect the east and west sides of Bangkok, featuring both underground and elevated transit systems."
"When deployed, the IP/MPLS solution is intended to enable BEM to have a high-capacity, low-latency, reliable and secure transmission backbone to support both vital and non-vital railway applications, including CCTV surveillance, public announcements, passenger information displays, radio communication, and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA). As part of the project, Nokia will develop two BTNs, 10G and 40G, each to support network speeds for voice, data and video transmission between stations and operations control centre (OCC)."
"In regional Asian coups for the comms tech provider, Nokia has announced a partnership with ST Engineering and First One Systems to deploy Bangkok Expressway and Metro (BEM) railway communications network for enhanced safety and services . Meanwhile, operator Gulf Bridge International (GBI) has selected Nokia's optical networking solution to build a new high-capacity terrestrial network, also designed for subsea backhauling, enhancing connectivity between Europe, the Middle East and Asia."

Nokia will develop two BTNs (10G and 40G) and deliver equipment including the 7250 Interconnect Router, Nokia Service Platform, 7210 Service Access System and professional services to simplify operations and provide real-time network visibility. Gulf Bridge International selected Nokia optical networking for a high-capacity terrestrial network and subsea backhauling linking Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
