ZTE has won a GSM for Railways (GDM-R) project from Nanning Railway Bureau.

ZTE’s GSM-R system, based on the GSM standards, provides technology for precise railway scheduling and communications.

As part of the Nanning Railway contract, ZTE will deploy its GSM-R technology on a key transport link in Southwest China. The Nanning Railway section will include six rail lines that support train speeds exceeding 200 km per hour, and enhance China’s high-speed rail links with countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

Li Jian, vice-president, ZTE says, “ZTE’s GSM-R system can overcome the wireless communication challenges in mountainous and undulating terrains, and ensure robust network connections. We will work closely with Nanning Railway Bureau to help our client fulfill their role as a key regional transport hub linking major international cities.”
