Challenges
- The tunnel uses a web of 物联网 devices to manage passenger and vehicle safety 24/7 in an extremely challenging environment, including up to 40°C+ heat and over 70% humidity. An extremely stable and reliable data network was needed to ensure transmission of essential operational data via automated technology.
- It was critical that the 152-kilometer tunnel area, 包括168个交叉通道, be connected and secured with IP network connectivity as even minimal network disruption could cause delays and potentially impact worker and passenger safety.
Results
技术的好处
- The Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise switches are critical to the operation of the Gotthard Base Tunnel. 8年来, the extremely resilient and reliable network has consistently powered the Gotthard Base Tunnel’s web of 物联网 devices and services such as door monitoring, 传感器, 相机, ventilation and drainage infrastructure, 通信, and control and monitoring systems, all of which send and/or receive real-time data. Nothing in the Gotthard Base Tunnel works without Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise switches.
- 近1000人 OmniSwitch 6855开关 that make up the industrial-grade hardened network connect all of the tunnel’s 70,000 data points successfully in a very harsh and difficult operational environment.
经济利益
- The tunnel’s extreme environment (i.e. high temperatures and humidity, remote location, metal dust from trains, etc.) would easily damage normal switches. The rugged components that make up the network are built to last, employing a passive cooling mechanism that ensures low maintenance needs and equipment longevity, 这会降低成本吗.
用户体验优势
- The specialized hardened network enables the Gotthard Base Tunnel to take 物联网 w在这里 standard networking cannot, guaranteeing the level of service required for the longest, safest and best connected tunnel in the world, 它运输9,000 passengers every day in safety and comfort.
