The urban mass transit communication system includes multiple technologies, such as fixed network, eLTE wireless network, IP telephony and high-definition video surveillance.
Huawei’s wireless network subsystem employs ultra-broadband technology to support wireless dispatching, unified transmission of ticketing traffic and other traffic from services that require high bandwidth.
The subsystem also supports a nine-level hierarchical quality of service that provides broadband internet and a real-time, secure and reliable train-to-ground wireless communications platform.
