Chinese railway adopts 5G storage system to track operational data
A
large-capacity data storage system facilitated by 5G technology recently goes
live on the locomotives of China Railway Chengdu Group, southwest China’s
Sichuan Province, making China the first country to apply 5G technology in rail
transit.
The 5G
storage system is independently developed by Zhuzhou CRRC Times Electric Co.,
Ltd., a subsidiary of Chinese locomotive manufacturer CRRC Zhuzhou Institute.
Trains
generate massive amounts of data during operation, and these data need to be
transferred to related departments for analysis once the locomotives return to
the railway depots.
As
railway transit develops, the sheer amount of data, especially video data, is
growing fast. At this moment in time, Chinese railway system information is
predominantly saved on flash drives. However, there is always the potential
risk that the disks may be damaged or lost.
Thanks
to the 5G storage system explicitly tailored for rail transit scenarios, 55
gigabytes of data can now be stored in just 10 minutes, over 100 times faster
than using WLAN.
It is a
perfect solution to current dangers, offering strong support for operation data
analysis of locomotives.
Currently,
most data storage facilities in the world use 3G or 4G communication. The newly
developed storage system by the Zhuzhou CRRC Times Electric Co., Ltd. will
break the boundaries of internet speed and improve transmission efficiency.
The new
technology will help the high-broadband data transmission of not only rail
transit systems, but also wind power generation and electric vehicles.
