"For modern transport systems, operating a real-time surveillance system that is highly available, reliable and secure is vital to ensuring the safety of those travelling. To achieve these objectives in Singapore, the local transit authority has deployed Nokia IP/MPLS and fibre optical local area network (LAN) solutions. The Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA) spearheads land transport developments in the city state, with the stated responsibility to plan, design, build and maintain land transport infrastructure and systems."
"The technology installation is part of video surveillance upgrade to its critical railway infrastructure for which CCTV cameras are regarded as playing a crucial role within the LTA railway system. With CCTV cameras placed across more than 50 stations, the LTA needed a network infrastructure that could meet its growing capacity demands providing real-time monitoring and video surveillance services that ensure public safety, help spot illegal activities and manage traffic patterns."
"The LTA said it aspires to strengthen Singapore's land transport connectivity and integrate a greener and more inclusive public transport system complemented by walk and cycle options, using technology to strengthen its rail and bus infrastructure and develop "exciting" options for future land transport.

Singapore's Land Transport Authority oversees planning, design, construction and maintenance of extensive road and rail networks including expressways, an MRT network and cycling paths. The authority aims to strengthen connectivity, integrate greener and more inclusive public transport, and use technology to enhance rail and bus infrastructure and future options. CCTV cameras across more than 50 stations provide real-time monitoring to ensure public safety, detect illegal activities and manage traffic patterns. In partnership with Hitachi Rail, Nokia provided IP/MPLS and fibre optical LAN solutions, including hardened optical components, to meet growing camera counts and bandwidth needs and improve CCTV network availability, reliability and security.
