 Scope of Work (I)
There are 11 Systems included in Communications Subsystem:
1. Public Address System (PA)
To provide broadcasting function from OCC and Stations and integrated with Fire
System for Fire Alarm broadcast.
2. Direct Line Telephone System (DLTs)
To build up direct line communication from wayside, PAO, SER/CER and
station staff to OCC operator.
3. Automatic Telephone System (AT)
To provide automatic telephones for MRT Staff.
4. Dot Matrix Display and Passenger Guidance Information System (DMD &PGIS)
To provide OCC the function to display accurate Train information and
Guidance Information to passengers.
5. Electronic Mail System (E-Mail System)
To build up a E-mail system and integrate with existing E-mail system.
6. Clock System
Based on GPS Time source, to provide Clocks at stations and time signal to
other systems.

7. Communication Multi Function Table (CMFT)
To provide 5 set integrated consoles to operate AT, CCTV, PA, DMD, TETRA and
On-Train communication at stations and trains.
8. Fiber-Optic Transmission System (FOT System)
To install the fiber cable between each station and provide a stable and reliable
Transmission Network to whole E&M system.
9. Close Circuit Television System (CCTV System)
To provide OCC a real time monitoring function for the image and video from
stations and trains, and integrated with Fire System to auto-lock monitoring when
fire event happened.
10. On-Train Communication System (OTC System)
To provide broadcasting function from OCC to trains, and passenger/service
intercom between train and OCC via Digital Radio System.
11. Digital Radio System (TETRA System)
To provide a digital wireless communication system for operation and maintenance
staff in the whole line coverage.

 SDH System Architecture Description
 ADM Equipment will be located on every station to be a STM-4 SDH Ring.
 A single failure will not affect to the other station transmission function via SDH SNCP
Ring Protection.
 GPS clock at Stratum 1 level network clock source would be provided at OCC node to be
SDH System Clock.
 E1 MUX equipment is equipped to gather varied interface signal of different Application.
 STM-4/16 as trunk
 Redundant Power/CPU
 SNCP/MS-SPRing/MSP
 VLAN/Q-in-Q
 ITU-T G.841
 E1/FE/GE as Access
