Case Study: Kobe Electric Railway achieves reliable, high-performance station networking with Allied Telesis

Kobe Electric Railway boosts 46 stations with Allied Telesis’ 50ms failover network

Kobe Electric Railway, a railway company operating 46 stations in Japan, faced challenges with its outdated network infrastructure, which struggled with reliability, performance, and the demands of its Inter-Station Remote System. They required a highly available, high-speed, and easy-to-maintain network to support critical services like electronic ticketing and station surveillance. To address this, they partnered with vendor Allied Telesis to implement a solution using the vendor's x900 Series switches with EPSR and VCStack technologies.

The solution implemented by Allied Telesis provided a resilient, high-performance network featuring fast failover and simplified management. This resulted in uninterrupted 24/7 operation, instant data transmission for ticketing systems, and a future-proof infrastructure. The project was also cost-effective, utilizing some existing connections and reducing total cost of ownership. Allied Telesis's solution ensured Kobe Electric Railway could continue to provide safe, secure, and comfortable railway services.
