Singapore LTA & Nokia: Railway CCTV Upgrade for Enhanced Safety

“`html

Introduction

Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) is upgrading its railway CCTV network using Nokia solutions to accommodate additional cameras and higher bandwidth requirements.

Railway CCTV Network Upgrade

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is deploying Nokia’s IP/Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and fibre Optical LAN solutions as part of a broad video surveillance upgrade for its key railway infrastructure. This deployment is being conducted in collaboration with Hitachi Rail.

Optical LAN Implementation

The Optical LAN setup utilizes less cabling, up to 70%, and power, 40%, compared to traditional copper-based LAN networks. The deployment includes ONUs designed for durability and OLTs that can reach speeds up to 25Gb/s.

IP/MPLS System Functionality

Nokia’s IP/MPLS system assists LTA in efficiently transporting network data to its Operations Control Center, where staff monitor and store live video streams.

Capacity Enhancement

With cameras installed at over 50 stations, LTA required a network infrastructure capable of handling increased capacity needs. These CCTV cameras are utilized for real-time monitoring and video surveillance, supporting public safety, identifying unlawful activities, and assisting with traffic management.
