The Société du Grand Paris (SGP) has selected the consortium made up of ENGIE Solutions and Nokia to deploy a private LTA mobile network for the new Grand Paris Express automatic metro lines.
The project will cover lines 15, 16 and 17 and will span 200 kilometers (124 miles) of new lines, 68 new metro stations and all the trains running on these lines.
This project is intended to provide critical operational services to meet all operating and maintenance needs, as well as the needs of the emergency and security services on the future Grand Paris Express transport network.
ENGIES says this choice is part of an innovative approach from SGP, which wishes to replace the conventional technologies normally used in transport with LTE, an evolving broadband technology that is reliable and secure.
Nokia will deploy its LTE PMR radio solution designed for:
- Voice communications: audio communication across all Grand Paris Express structures and the entire length of the track
- Data: sending/receiving files and multimedia material
- Images: sending/receiving video, video surveillance images from on-board trains
ENGIE Solutions will provide its service in design and construction of rail transport infrastructure. ENGIE Solutions will steer the project throughout the value chain including study, purchasing, construction, tests, through to overall commissioning of the transport service. ENGIE Solutions will rely on a team specialized in strategic support for the management of complex rail projects and systems integration.
