Shenzhen, China, August 9, 2013 — Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, announced that it has been selected to provide site power solutions to the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link, ensuring stable and reliable power supply for the railway’s radio communication system with its advanced ICT technologies. This is an important addition to Huawei’s offering to the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link, following its deployment of a GSM-R radio dispatching solution for this 142-km railway line since February 2013.

"Huawei is very excited to expand our offerings and services for the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Rail Link," said Mr. Fang Liangzhou, Vice President of Network Energy Product Line. "We fully understand that a highly reliable electrical system is critical for the normal functioning of the radio communication system which is at the heart of the railway’s safe operation, hence, we will make sure the power supply solution we provide to this project meets the industry’s highest standard and helps the customer run the railway safely and efficiently."

To address the unique needs of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link, Huawei offers a customized power supply solution which requires a small space for setup and features flexible deployment, strong performance and high reliability. For example, the Huawei Embedded Telecom Power product included in the solution provides extraordinary power density which delivers an output of 12KW with only 5U in height. It also allows for flexible installation in a 19 inch rack or cabinet, enabling the solution easily fit into different landscape scenarios along the route. The use of highly efficient rectifier modules also significantly improves the electrical system’s reliability by lowering heat generated by over 50%. To guarantee stable operation, the solution adopts a protection level of IP55 for the indoor power system, which is designed for outdoor scenarios. Due to the effective protection, the solution can reduce occurrence of failures, resulting in reduced cost of maintenance at the same time.

Committed to helping global enterprises and customers from vertical industries with the construction and optimization of their ICT infrastructure, Huawei has been dedicated to the innovation and development of highly reliable and flexible power supply products. In the transportation sector, Huawei will continue to establish wide collaborations with industry partners and strive to help enhance the operational safety and efficiency of high-speed railway lines around the world.
