Singapore Taps IBM's Customised e-Payment for Mass Transit Network
Singapore's Land Transport Authority (LTA) has tapped IBM's High Performance On Demand Solutions (HiPODS) Labs to build a customised, smart card e-payment infrastructure for Singapore's mass transit network of buses and trains. Dubbed Symphony for e-payment (e-Symphony), the infrastructure will replace the current Enhanced Integrated Farecard System (EIFS).
IBM will help Singapore connect its fare payment systems for its Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) and the Light Rail Transit (LRT) systems, linking them to a central computer of the transport operators SBS Transit Ltd and SMRT Corporation , card service operator TransitLink; and card manager EZ-Link.
The customised solution for the LTA e-payment infrastructure includes, System p Servers, System x Servers, MPro Workstations, IBM Storage, Tape Libraries and Printers; WebSphere Application Server; WebSphere MQ; IBM DB2 (Viper); Rational Application Design, Development and Testing Tools, Tivoli Tools.
The HiPODS team will allow clients to tap into IBM researchers, engineers, developers and consultants from anywhere in the world. The HiPODS team works with IBM's customers including eBay, VISA and Charles Schwab whose project requirements have evolved from high volume Web architectures toward high performance operating environments.
