About the event:
CBN plays in a key role in ensuring reliable voice, data and video communication between various locations on the MRT such as Stations, Depot(s), Operation Control Center(s) and Sub-stations. The CBN is used not only by the Communications Systems but also by other systems such as SCADA, AFC and Traction Power to support their communications needs between respective systems at various locations. The CBN has to accommodate a variety of interfaces from analog voice to Ethernet and varying data rates from a few Kilobits/sec to several hundred Megabits/sec. Another key aspect of the CBN is its resilience, reliability and availability.
During the talk, Hin How will briefly explain the various CBN technologies and the evolution of implementations specifically in relation to the MRT applications. He will discuss the various system architectures and configurations along with key aspects such as system interfaces, bandwidth utilization and performance.
