Case Study: Class I Freight Railroad Company achieves ACSES II PTC interoperability on the Northeast Corridor with LILEE Systems' MCM-2110

Helping Freight Railways Achieve Critical Interoperability with Positive Train Control Along the Northeast Corridor

LILEE Systems, a Silicon Valley–based provider of industrial IoT wireless connectivity solutions, was asked to help a Class 1 railroad operate on Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor (NEC) where passenger authorities are migrating to the FRA‑approved ACSES II Positive Train Control (PTC) system. Tenant railroads needed rapid, reliable onboard interoperability with Amtrak’s ACSES II wayside and back‑office infrastructure to meet safety mandates and continue service.

LILEE delivered its MCM‑2110 Mobile Communications Manager, provided configuration, lab and field testing, and onsite commissioning while coordinating with Amtrak to avoid wasted track time. The locomotive achieved successful communications with NEC wayside base stations, meeting safety and interoperability requirements; the deployment increased operational safety and efficiency, proved scalable and radio‑compatible, and left the Class 1 operator highly satisfied.
