• East Rail Line Cross-Harbour Extension equipped with new signaling system officially opens for revenue service
• 46 km East Rail Line now connects Chinese Mainland border, New Territories, Kowloon to Central Business Districts on Hong Kong Island
• Automatic train control system on the whole East Rail Line enhances operational efficiency

The East Rail Line Cross-Harbour Extension in Hong Kong successfully commenced passenger service on May 15, 2022, with Siemens Mobility’s Communications-Based Train Control system (CBTC). This completes the automation of the 46 km long East Rail Line connecting the Chinese Mainland border to the central business areas on Hong Kong Island and becomes the fourth railway line crossing Victoria Harbour. The Siemens Mobility digitalized signaling system helps provide passengers with the ability to reach the commercial, convention and financial hubs in the Wan Chai North and Admiralty areas in a faster, safer, and more seamless way.

• Transmission of Profinet IO packets via a private 5G network
• VXLAN as transmission technology embeds Profinet protocol
• Use of a central control system for multiple mobile participants reduces energy and maintenance costs

Siemens enables the transmission of Profinet IO via a private 5G network, which allows data to be transmitted in real time for industrial applications. This is made possible by the VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) transmission technology in the Scalance 5G routers and security appliances from Siemens. VXLAN embeds the Profinet IO protocol, which is transmitted in Layer 2, into Layer 3 packets, which allows them to be transmitted across network boundaries. Since Layer 2 communication now takes place via 5G, a central controller can communicate with decentralized I/O modules on mobile devices such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs) via Profinet in a private 5G network and no local controls have to be used on the individual AGVs. This saves costs and reduces maintenance. At the Hannover Messe, visitors can see this innovation at the booth of the organization "5G-ACIA" in Hall 9.
