Solution Overview

Industrial EPON architecture for high-bandwidth, long-reach metro CCTV

MRD offers a comprehensive industrial‑grade EPON‑based solution for rail transit CCTV systems. With a deep understanding of the core requirements – high bandwidth, long‑haul transmission, high‑density access, and high reliability – we have developed an EPON architecture featuring all‑fiber transmission, passive splitting, and dual‑node hot standby to meet the access needs of over 100 HD cameras per station.

Industry Challenges

Rail transit CCTV covers platform, train, passenger-flow and security missions; its network faces four challenges:

  • Terminal quantity is huge

    A typical station HD camera (IPC) quantity exceeds 100
  • Bandwidth requirements are huge

    Average bandwidth per HD camera ≥ 8Mbps, peak can up to 16Mbps
  • Access distance varies

    Some devices are less than 100 meters, and some exceed the distance limit of Ethernet cables.
  • Complex management

    When it is necessary to monitor, maintain, and manage
