NEC and its subsidiary NEC Corporation (Thailand) have been awarded a contract to supply data transmission, CCTV security, public address, and master clock systems for the new Red Line railway in metropolitan Bangkok. The contract was granted by a 3-company consortium consisting of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi, and Sumitomo Corporation, which won the construction contract of the line.
Bangkok’s Red Line will be constructed from Bang Sue Station, located in the center of Bangkok, and run 26.4 kilometers to the north (North Line) and 14.6 kilometers to the west (West Line).
