Ribbon stated that the upgraded system is ready for advanced services such as Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) and integrates enhanced cybersecurity features, ensuring LTG's compliance with industry standards.

This is one of the largest and most complex network modernisation projects of the past decade, not only for LTG but also in Lithuania's public sector," said LTG Group.
"It covers everything from architectural design, replacement of network nodes, network management systems, and security systems, to cabling and migration of existing services to the upgraded network. It also includes seven years of service and support for the newly installed equipment," LTG Group added.
