With the rapid development of railway transport,
simple voice and constraint data services can not
satisfy the high-speed data requirements both
from train operators and from passengers. For
train operators, a more efficient way to guarantee
train operational safety and on board security is
becoming more and more important. Services such

on Huawei’s LTE solution. For the passengers,
many people are enthusiastic about using mobile
broadband services while on the move with
laptops, mobile phones and cloud computing
devices. Many business travelers today have the
ability to connect to their work space from outside
the office. Continue working while travelling allows
travel time to be converted into productive working
hours. With the understanding of rail operational

demands, Huawei eWBB LTE solution is designed
to providing broadband services that are far
exceeding capabilities of standard GSM-R. Video
surveillance solutions implemented on board,
along the track or on platforms help to further
improve Railway services and customer satisfaction
by allowing centralized security staff to monitor
situation on individual trains. At the same time the
system can be configured to deliver broadband
wireless connectivity to passengers allowing them
to access up to date travel information, access
internet services during the trip or watch real-time
TV. With its wide portfolio, Huawei is the right
partner for railways to pull all these technologies
together into one Smart Railway solution allowing
railways to focus on passenger needs and railway
operational demands.

Huawei eWBB LTE solution permits railways to
establish high speed Broadband Data connections
on board the train. As for GSM-R, LTE based
eWBB includes specifically designed algorithms
to deliver superior Quality of Services at highest
train speeds. Huawei’s solution has been tested
at speeds of 430km/h on Shanghai’s Maglev
line. Based on LTE technology, Huawei’s solution
on maglev with FDD 20MHz, 2 × 2 MIMO
configuration, the Peak downlink rate can reach
50Mbps. With its flat network architecture eWBB
is a cost efficient solution delivering shortest bit
transfer delays. Overall reliability of the system is

carrier grade with additional options to further
improve overall system reliability by implementing
geographical redundancies. A wide range of
frequency bands are supported for eWBB and
flexible bandwidth configurations allow custom
specific frequency situations. Today, Huawei’s
eWBB solution is considered the most advanced
rail telecommunication solution merging synergies
between GSM-R operation, non safety critical rail
operational voice and data services and passenger
communication.
