RNS Reach - non regulatory announcement

 

Solid State plc

("Solid State", the "Group" or the "Company")

Solid State awarded Transport for London contract

 

Solid State plc (AIM: SOLI), the specialist value added component supplier and
design-in manufacturer of computing, power, and communications products, is
delighted to announce that it has been awarded a contract to help deliver a
new One Person Operation CCTV system for Transport for London, as part of the
Piccadilly Line Upgrade on the London Underground Network.

 

The new digital system will be utilised on the Piccadilly line, which will
benefit from 94 new state-of-the-art Tube trains from 2025. It will allow real
time IP video images of the platform edge (the "mind the gap" area) to be
transmitted to, and displayed, on in-cab screens for driver awareness.

 

Steatite will be providing custom-designed computers for use on the trains and
within the wider station-based system. Carrier boards with specialist display
outputs are being designed by Steatite's Imaging business, Active Silicon, to
be utilised at the heart of the onboard system. The finished systems will be
tested to various rail-standards using Steatite's in-house EMC testing chamber
and environmental test facility, allowing de-risking of the project prior to
carrying out official certification at an independent test house.

 

Matthew Richards, Managing Director of the Systems division, said:

"We are very excited to be involved in this project. By drawing on Steatite
and Active Silicon's technical prowess, this is a superb example of our
ability to utilise multiple skill sets within the business to overcome complex
challenges, and to design, test and implement a world-class solution."
