Overview

A typical metro and light rail system uses multiple devices for a variety of applications such as public address, information systems, train control, ticketing machines, surveillance cameras, various types of voice communications for administration and emergency phones etc connected through a reliable fiber optic backbone system. Siemens' OTN supports this mixture of applications: Voice, data, video, high speed LAN as well as low bandwidth serial data employing many interfaces and protocols, all connected, directly, without hassle, to the Open Transport Network nodes.

GL's engineers provided support for the above build-out and inspection services.
