Hyderabad Metro Makes Ticketing More Reliable|

Metro Railway stations of Hyderabad will now use a single fiber which connects all stations as a backup media for ticketing. The last mile access and delivery solution was completely designed to ensure reliable and continuous working of the ticketing department. Deployment was enabled by MRO-TEK, a provider of product-based solutions for network access.
S. Narayanan, chairman and MD of MRO-TEK explained the implementation, "The ticketing department of railways was interconnected to the central site ticketing server through a leased line. So in case of leased line failure, tickets cannot be issued on time. So the railways were in need for a single solution which would connect all stations as a backup media for ticketing which is very crucial."
The solution uses a single fiber media in a 'protected ring' topology with an Ethernet aggregator called eSONA-8. There can be a maximum of 9 stations connected to the central server location over a single fiber in one protected ring. Now as the 9th station doesn't have fiber back to the central location, the ring is closed through the Railtel SDH backbone using 10/100BaseTx Media Converters and the application continues to work even if there is a failure in any part of the ring.
