Huawei announced that its eLTE solution has won the bid for the Shenhua Group Corporation’s Shuo Huang Railway (SHR) LTE project, and will deliver this project soon. Shenhua has developed and implemented LTE network for heavy-haul railways. 

Huawei worked with six industry partners to research, plan, conduct trial tests, and engineer the construction of SHR’s new railway mobile broadband communications system since 2010. Over four years, multiple lab tests were conducted and four on-site tests were completed at the railway’s 42 kilometer trial section.

According to Huawei, it's eLTE solution has been tailored to the SHR and uses a 1.8G LTE TDD network to enable communications for 20,000-ton heavy-haul trains over long distances. The LTE network supports the multi-locomotive synchronous control system, controllable train tail system and other heavy-haul train services that require a reliable and secure communications system.
