ProCurve Networking Enables Real-Time Video Streaming From Driverless Metro Torino Trains

Overview

Italian transport giant Gruppo Torinese Trasporti (GTT) SpA employs over 5,000 personnel and transports some 190 million passengers every year on urban, suburban and out-of-town train and bus networks in the Italian city of Turin. To ensure public safety and stamp out vandalism and other criminal activity, Italian transport giant GTT wanted a real-time video surveillance system with a scalable, powerful and flexible network capable of capturing video in every train and building of the new Metro Torino - Italy's first automatic, driverless metro in the city of Turin - and transmitting these images to the central control room. GTT selected a solution featuring Funkwerk CCTV cameras and ProCurve switches because of their small size, huge power and flexibility.
