Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express
In December 2007, Huawei Technologies was selected to design and build a GSM-R voice and data
communication system for the high-speed line between the cities of Shenzhen and Guangzhou. The
Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong line, using a CTCS-3 train signaling system (coherent to ETCS L2), was
China’s first operational GSM-R line with a speed designed to reach 350 km/h.
About one-third of the high-speed line runs through hilly terrain that required extensive construction of
bridges, cuttings and tunnels. The 10.8 km-long Shiziyang tunnel, being the longest, is an underwater dual-
cave shield tunnel that reflects the shape of the shuttle and leaves very little room for RF equipment.
Huawei’s BSS solution for this challenging environment consists of a combination of conventional BTS and
repeater equipment, as well as distributed base stations. Huawei GSM-R is compatible with the two signaling
systems of the mainland and Hong Kong and interworks with NSS equipment provided by other vendors. This
project speeds rail access from Hong Kong to 16 mainland cities.

Daqin Line — First Commercial GSM-R Application over GPRS to be Upgraded to IP-core
The Daqin Railway connects the city of Datong with the city of Qinhuangdao and, in 2005, became China’s first railway
line to be equipped with Huawei’s GSM-R technology.
The Daqin line is mainly used for coal transportation, and is recognized as one of the most important heavy-haul railways
in China. Trains reaching a total length of 2,700-meter-long system with up to 214 coaches operate on multiple engines
that are distributed between the individual coaches. These traction units are operated and synchronized from a single
driver using Huawei’s General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) data solution. Again, the Daqin line was the first to use this
GPRS based solution. Since the commercial launch of the line, its freight throughput has increased by 400 percent and
annual capacity has reached 400 million tons.
In order to further improve operational reliability of the end to end system the Daqin railway line was successfully
migrated from its R99 platform to a modern R4 Softswitch platform in January 2011. Huawei designed and carried out
the upgrade of the GSM-R core network without disrupting the rail operations of the Daqin line. The successful migration
of the Daqin 3GPP GSM-R network represents an important milestone for GSM-R network operators all around the world,
since many GSM-R networks today would greatly benefit from the additional features offered by an R4 platform. This
project demonstrates that high-reliability GSM-R networks can be migrated while full rail operation is maintained.
Due to the large number of tunnels, long slopes, and other complex terrain making up the
Daqin railway, traditional repeaters were installed in the initial phase of the project to meet the requirements of wireless
coverage. As cargo throughput increased, demands on wireless reliability also increased. In May 2013, the railway’s
original mobile repeater solution was replaced by Huawei’s distributed BTS DBS3900. It was the first time anywhere that
any railroad has replaced repeaters with Huawei GSM-R DBS3900.
Huawei installed 70 sets of DBS3900 distributed base stations over more than 20 long slopes, tunnels and in regions
with complex RF situations. The replacement of mobile repeaters by DBS3900 stations has greatly enhanced network
performance, improving efficiency and safety on the heavy-load Daqin Railway.
