Solution Overview

Building a secure, efficient and future-ready communications backbone for smart transportation

As highways and expressways undergo intelligent upgrades, communication systems have evolved from mere “data transmission pipes” into core infrastructure that determines service quality and safety. With a deep understanding of the transportation industry’s fundamental requirements for high reliability, maintainability, and scalability, MRD delivers full‑stack communication solutions based on next‑generation industrial Ethernet and HSR/PRP redundancy technologies – helping customers build all‑IP, highly resilient, and visualized smart transportation communication networks.

Industry Challenges

Looking back at traffic communications evolution, technology clearly moves toward lower cost, higher bandwidth, stronger redundancy and easier O&M:

  • Traditional SDH/MSTP bottleneck

    Surface for IP business efficiency is low, equipment is non-industrial grade, environmental adaptability is poor, the need for professional maintenance, integrated into this high.
  • Increased bandwidth and redundant requirements

    High-definition video, vehicle-road collaboration, etc. Business requires more efficient bandwidth assurance (CIR/PIR) and more flexible redundant protection (ring switching < 50ms for starting point).
  • High O&M complexity

    Traditional transmission and hanging switches belong to different systems. Fault positioning requires multi-professional collaboration, and operation and maintenance are at a high level.
  • Highlight security risks

    In the face of network structure risks, system vulnerability risks, and protocol risks, traditional IT security measures are difficult to cover industrial control protocol scenarios.
