Tadiran Telecom has been selected to provide Kunming Subway in China with a customized solution for all three of its subway lines.
The solution is both a mission-critical dispatching control and administrative communications system and includes, for the first time in Chinese subway history, an advanced softswitch communications system. The system, which will be installed by Tadiran's subsidiary KTT, is currently in the first stage of deployment.
Kunming Subway is a rapid transit system currently under construction in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province. Kunming has a population of over 3 million and is currently one of the largest cities in China without a subway system. The first phase of the project is planned to be completed in the middle of 2012. The Kunming Subway system has selected Tadiran Telecom’s solution to simultaneously serve all of the three lines, numbers 1, 2, and 6 in this complex and multi-level project.
The Kunming Subway communications system project will include over 125 IPx 3000, IPx 500M, and Tadiran softswitch servers.
