Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) will enhance video surveillance across more than 50 train stations using Nokia’s IP/MPLS and fiber Optical LAN, deployed in partnership with Hitachi Rail.

The upgrade aims to support high-resolution CCTV and real-time monitoring for passenger safety, with hardened ONUs and future-ready OLTs capable of 25 Gb/s. Nokia says Optical LAN can require up to 70% less cabling and 40% less power than traditional copper-based networks.

Data from station cameras will be backhauled to LTA’s Operations Control Center via Nokia’s IP/MPLS, improving capacity for live viewing and storage. Hitachi Rail said the project continues its long-term collaboration with LTA on critical transport infrastructure.

Nokia added that the solution is designed to scale with growing bandwidth needs, supporting secure, reliable surveillance across Singapore’s heavily used rail network.
