ZTE is demonstrating its 4G rail telecommunication solutions at GITEX and the Middle East Rail Technology Exhibition, Telecompaper.com reports on Oct 13, 2014. ZTE\'s 4G rail telecommunication platform has already been implemented into the Wenzhou City Railway Line S1 project in China. This service provides three TD-LTE-based key services, including wireless multimedia broadband trunking, Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) and Passenger Information System (PIS), changing from the previous networking mode, where Tetra and WLAN provided separate bearing for different services. The rail telecommunication project fully uses 4G wireless broadband trunking.

In December 2012, ZTE and Zhejiang Mobile completed the deployment of the 4G TD-LTE network covering the Jiaxing Section of the Shanghai-Huangzhou high-speed railway. The project provided 4G data download on a train running on a high-speed railway, at a speed of 350km/ph.

The ZTE Dedicated LTE Rail Transit Communications System supports the transmission of various service data, including the service data of the passenger information system (PIS), Onboard CCTV systems, and communications-based train control (CBTC) system. In addition, these channels can be used to transmit data of various passenger-oriented services, including QoS-assured passenger entertainment systems (PES) and WiFi access services.

The ZTE Dedicated LTE Rail Transit Communications System provides LTE-based multimedia trunking dispatch services for the implementation of multimedia video trunking calls between a train driver and a command center, dispatcher, or maintenance section. Train staff is equipped with smart push-to-talk devices for implementing voice and video trunking calls and various services such as office data, images, and high-definition videos.

At GITEX, ZTE demonstrates the smart transportation service in its Smart City-themed booth. Visitors can see the service in action, with ZTE displaying traffic conditions, bus arrivals and other public travel information on an interactive touch screen. Attendees can use their mobile devices to scan a two-dimensional code and install the app for real-time access to this information.
