Railway IP-MPLS Backbone Routers
A railway-oriented IP-MPLS communications platform designed to route and aggregate data traffic across station and junction networks.
The challenge
Railway communication networks need dependable routing and traffic separation for multiple operational and service applications. Modernisation programmes may require interoperability, resilience, manageable network architecture and a qualification path aligned with railway procurement requirements.
The solution
A proposed communications platform using modular routing hardware and a suitable network software stack. Depending on the final configuration, it may support station-level edge routing, junction or aggregation routing, IP/MPLS services, traffic policies and network-management functions.
How it works
The intended network topology, interfaces, service requirements, resilience targets, timing needs and cybersecurity requirements are defined. Hardware and software are then selected, integrated and tested against the target use case. Throughput, interface count, interoperability, redundancy, network-management functions and railway qualification status must be verified by documentation and testing.
