JAKARTA, Indonesia, Oct. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Indonesia's Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway, known as WHOOSH, officially entered service. The railway reduces travel time between Jakarta and Bandung from 3.5 hours to just 40 minutes, which will boost economic development along the route. Huawei has partnered with China Railway Signal

As Southeast Asia's first high-speed railway, WHOOSH stretches 142.3 kilometers between the capital city of Jakarta and the popular tourist destination of Bandung in Indonesia. The maximum operating speed of the trains is 350 kilometers per hour. WHOOSH is also the first project to apply China's high-speed rail system, including all elements of the industry's value chain, outside of China. WHOOSH marks Indonesia's entry into the era of high-speed rail.

WHOOSH is equipped with the Chinese Train Control System Level 3 (CTCS-3), which was independently developed in China. Due to the high speed at which trains travel and their short departure intervals, a stable and reliable dedicated communications network that provides high security, high bandwidth, and simple operation and maintenance is crucial for the train control system. This ensures that trains run safely, smoothly and efficiently.

According to Lai Chaosen, vice president of Huawei Indonesia, WHOOSH's train-to-ground wireless network adopts Huawei's mature solution and employs network interleaving for seamless coverage. Achieving up to 99.99% availability, the network ensures stable transmission of train control signals and intelligent orchestration and scheduling of train numbers and functions.

The data network uses Huawei's next-generation data communications equipment, ensuring 100% secure networks through native hard pipes. Each link is protected by redundancy and redundancy switching can be completed in as little as 35 ms.

The transmission network uses Huawei's hybrid MSTP equipment, which provides the high bandwidth and high stability required by more than 20 high-speed train systems, such as scheduling and command, disaster prevention, video surveillance, train ticketing. passenger and energy remote control systems. The network is also capable of addressing the growth and evolution needs of future rail services.

Liu Jieping, deputy chief engineer of CRSC's Jakarta-Bandung project, explained that the launch of WHOOSH represents an important milestone in China's global strategy for high-speed railways. The train-ground wireless network, transmission network, data network and other system solutions provided by Huawei have built a high-quality dedicated communications network for WHOOSH and provided reliable technical support for safe and efficient railway operations.

Dwiyana Slamet Riyadi, President Director of PT Kereta Cepat Indonesia China (KCIC), stated: "We would like to thank all stakeholders, especially Huawei and CRSC, for their contributions in preparing technological solutions and railway infrastructure that are critical to support the operation of the Whoosh high-speed train. The shared implementation of proven technological solutions and operational solutions of the Whoosh high-speed train can serve as a reference and reference point for the development of other high-speed railway infrastructure in Indonesia and similar projects in other ASEAN countries.
