(Telecompaper) Huawei and Alstom have announced the successful completion of the world's first live pilot test of 4G LTE multi-services based on Communications-based Train Control (CBTC), a railway signaling system based on wireless ground-to-train communication. Alstom will integrate LTE 4G into its signaling system solution, the Urbalis Fluence CBTC system. The pilot covered the unified multi-service capabilities of several systems including CBTC, Passenger Information System (PIS), and closed-circuit television (CCTV). It was carried out at metro lines near the Valenciennes commune area in France with Huawei optimizing the network planning, broadband data services, and mission critical voice trunking services, and Alstom providing the technology integration support. During the pilot, Huawei and Alstom jointly conducted several tests, including laboratory and static test on trains, dynamic test on metro tracks, and testing of eLTE multi-services capabilities. Huawei provided the eLTE network and Alstom the train and LTE-compliant onboard equipment.
