San Jose, Calif.-based Lilee Systems on Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2015 announced "the availability of its TransAir™ LMS-2450 series, a locomotive messaging and application server (LMS) series that the company says "gives freight and passenger rail operators the ability to achieve positive train control (PTC) compliance."
Lilee said the system, "[b]ased on the newly released LileeOS 2.8 platform," offers locomotive operators safety and speed enforcement per PTC's implementation, "as well as manage other business data without having to invest in additional software or hardware for what is typically limited onboard cabinet space. "
The LMS-2450 "delivers both robust connectivity and an x86 application engine that allows users to load any business or PTC applications they wish to support," the company said.
"Dynamic on-the-fly roaming, multi-link aggregation, plus static and dynamic load balancing, and link monitoring ensure seamless connectivity and best user experience between back office and mobile environments with integrated GPS, multiple mobile broadband modems, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and software-defined radio (SDR)," Lilee said, adding that "a flexible, modular design delivers scalability that enables users to expand over time."
