Installation of Digital Customer Information Screens, Upgrade of CCTV and upgrade of WAN/LAN infrastructure

Replace all existing customer information screens (CIS) with new digital customer information screens (DCIS) at every station on the WMT network

Overall Objective

The overall objective of the project is to upgrade the Local Area Network (LAN) at the defined West Midlands Trains operated stations.

This initiative acts as an enabler to other technological schemes and Business Plan Commitments (BPCs) such as DCIS, TVMs, PVALs, CCTV, ANPR, and Retail, updating and standardizing the infrastructure to support multiple types of equipment which will be required at each site. The project will amalgamate the disparate communication solutions within the station including WAN circuit termination and any Customer Premise Equipment which includes SD WAN Appliances.

BENEFITS

• Consolidate project activities across several BPC work packages to avoid repetition and save on enabling, survey works and infrastructure costs.
• Enhanced infrastructure capability and ease of data transfer.
• Supports the data business case and improves ability to transfer data from trains.
• Enables multiple BPC commitments to be delivered.
• Makes the network more reliable, faster, cheaper, and easier to maintain remotely, avoiding unnecessary multiple site visits.
• Consistency of new IT standards to be delivered across the franchise network.
