Espoo, Finland - Malaysia has launched its first Mass Rapid
Transit line with the help of Nokia and LG CNS. Nokia supplied a
mission-critical communications network to LG CNS - a Korea-based
systems integrator - that is providing essential support for
railway operations on the new SBK line that will ultimately cover
51 km and serve the 1.2 million residents in and around Malaysia's
capital, Kuala Lumpur. The Northern section of the
SBK line (phase 1) has been in operation since December 2016, and
the Southern and underground section (phase 2) is planned to be
operational by the end of July 2017.
For the project, Nokia is providing a backbone transmission
network based on Internet Protocol/Multi-Protocol Label Switching
(IP/MPLS) technology to support a variety of both passenger and
operational services, including passenger information and security
systems, wireless transmission and operational support subsystems
such as supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA),
maintenance management system (MMS), automated fare collection
(AFC) and more.
The IP/MPLS network consists of the 7750 Service Router and 7210
Service Access Switch, satisfying the stringent requirements of
reliability and security. The network provides scalable Layer-2 and
Layer-3 virtual private network (VPN) services to support the
different railway sub-systems. End-to-end network and
services management is handled by the Nokia Network Services
Platform, enabling efficient provisioning, maintenance and
troubleshooting. Nokia also provided a range of professional
services for the project, including network design, installation,
test and commissioning and training.
This agreement builds on Nokia's substantial track-record
providing mission-critical networks for railway operations. The
company has deployed IP/MPLS networks in more than 30 railways
worldwide. It also highlights the growing momentum behind Nokia's
strategy of expanding its customer base to organizations outside of
the traditional telecommunications sphere.
Stuart Hendry, head of Global Enterprise & Public Sector
for Asia Pacific & Japan at Nokia, said: "Nokia's IP/MPLS
solution for railways is designed to address railway operators'
demanding requirements in terms of performance, reliability and,
most importantly, safety. We are pleased to play such an important
role in helping ensure safe, on-time and connected journeys for
Kuala Lumpur's residents."
Byung Il Park, Project Director of LG CNS said: "Nokia's
strong solutions for the railway industry, deep local presence and
global experience in delivering sophisticated solutions and
services made them an ideal partner for this large and complex
project."
