RSS513 Bombardier Transportation has selected 7767 Lilee Systems to design and deploy the communications systems for the New York 1267 Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (NYMTA) positive train control (PTC).

The contract involves the installation of wireless and wired ACSES II communications system for the MTA Metro-North Railroad and MTA Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) commuter lines.

Lilee Systems will be responsible for end-to-end ACSES II PTC communications performance, all 220 MHz RF (radio frequency) propagation analysis, measurement and implementation, RF interference mitigation, wireless and wired network planning, backup cellular and Wi-Fi communications, including the Lilee Systems CMU-2100 family of TransAir communications managers for all on-board, wayside and back office locations. The CMU-2100 family features integrated command, control, and information management for communicating critical PTC messaging with flexibility, precision, and efficiency.

"We chose Lilee Systems because of its demonstrated 220 MHz RF communications expertise, broad line of high performance ACSES II PTC communications products, and ability to address effectively complex customer requirements with integrated solutions and services that encompass the full spectrum of NYMTA requirements," said Rajendra Jadhav, vice president and the head of Americas for Bombardier Transportation Rail Control Solutions.
