Lilee Systems Introduces Next Generation Advanced Communications System for Mobile, Fixed and Wi-Fi Applications
Summary
"With the variety of wireless and wired networking options available, implementing a communications system that can integrate multiple components to deliver seamless connectivity is a challenge," said Loring Wirbel, senior analyst for The Linley Group." Key features include: • A modular design that allows for flexible integration to address safety and business data management functionality, and addresses all interoperable train control (ITC) IP transport requirements • Multiple cellular uplinks, channel bonding, link aggregation, and prioritization for multiple high throughput mobile industrial/transportation environments • Remote management enabled by machine-to-machine (M2M) telematics, enabling users to remotely monitor, control, and perform diagnostics without involving the physical presence of a maintenance or repair crew, which can be expensive • A fanless, ruggedized system with wide-range power supply support that is well-suited for use on rolling stock including locomotives and maintenance vehicles • Hardened, extensible system featuring a robust x86 application engine module that can leverage Linux or Windows business specific applications to meet IoT / M2M solution requirements "The rapidly growing Internet of Things trend opens up vast opportunities for communications technologies, driven by user requirements for speed and reliability," said Peter Chung, product line manager, Lilee Systems.Based on the newly released LileeOS 2.8 platform, the new locomotive messaging and application server (LMS) series gives freight and passenger rail operators the ability to achieve positive train control (PTC) compliance for safety and speed enforcement, as well as manage other business data without having to invest in additional software or hardware for what is typically limited onboard cabinet space."With the variety of wireless and wired networking options available, implementing a communications system that can integrate multiple components to deliver seamless connectivity is a challenge," said Loring Wirbel, senior analyst for The Linley Group."Key features include:• A modular design that allows for flexible integration to address safety and business data management functionality, and addresses all interoperable train control (ITC) IP transport requirements• Multiple cellular uplinks, channel bonding, link aggregation, and prioritization for multiple high throughput mobile industrial/transportation environments• Remote management enabled by machine-to-machine (M2M) telematics, enabling users to remotely monitor, control, and perform diagnostics without involving the physical presence of a maintenance or repair crew, which can be expensive• A fanless, ruggedized system with wide-range power supply support that is well-suited for use on rolling stock including locomotives and maintenance vehicles• Hardened, extensible system featuring a robust x86 application engine module that can leverage Linux or Windows business specific applications to meet IoT / M2M solution requirements"The rapidly growing Internet of Things trend opens up vast opportunities for communications technologies, driven by user requirements for speed and reliability," said Peter Chung, product line manager, Lilee Systems.
