About

Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (UTILITIES) awarded a contract to Siemens Mobility Ltd for the maintenance and repair of the Optical Transport Network (OTN) supporting the Glasgow Subway.

The OTN is the fibre communications backbone connecting 15 stations and the depot in a ring configuration, with an interface to bus and corporate sites.

It carries voice and data services over a dual-ring fibre setup, providing redundancy in case of a fibre break.

The contract, valued at £207,000, ensures the continuation of Subway service by preventing network failures that would halt operations.

***Insight: This contract is critical for maintaining the operational integrity of the Glasgow Subway, as the OTN's redundancy features are essential for uninterrupted service.

Siemens Mobility's specialized expertise in transport communications systems positions them as a key partner for such infrastructure."
