Rail-Smart Connectivity: Ultra-Reliable Industrial Ethernet Switches for Modern Tramway Networks

I. Project Overview
The communication system serves as the mission-critical infrastructure for modern tramways, enabling train dispatching, operational safety, and passenger services. It requires ultra-reliable real-time data transmission to support emergency response and passenger information delivery.

The system integrates industrial-grade switches to interconnect the control center with terminals (access control, CCTV, passenger information displays, signaling systems) and monitors track conditions across stations and routes.
Key Requirements:

1.High-density interfaces and high-performance switches

2.10Gbps high-speed redundant backbone network

3.Rapid network self-healing and centralized management

II. Solution
Comark CRS7228M Series Layer 3 10Gigabit Managed Industrial Ethernet Switches:

  • Control Center Deployment: 48*Gigabit + 6*10Gigabit ports for large-scale network connectivity, prioritizing bandwidth for signaling and access control systems.

  • Power Flexibility: PoE/PoE+ models support direct power delivery to IP cameras, reducing cabling complexity and deployment costs.
