# Metro-North Network Infrastructure Upgrade on New Haven Line

To improve security, cameras are being installed along Metro-North’s New Haven
Line. This will feed into Metro-North’s facilities in New Haven, CT and White
Plains, NY, enabling officials to view images and videos centrally rather than
traveling to local municipalities to view footage of an incident. When
completed, nearly 800 new security cameras will be installed.

In Phase 1 of the project, SYSTRA provided construction engineering and
inspection support for the replacement and upgrade of over 200 CCTV cameras and
installation of a redundant 144 fiber optic communications cable installed on
both sides of the line.

In Phase 2, SYSTRA provided construction engineering and inspection services for
the installation of CCTV cameras using Power over Ethernet technology and
expansion of the communications network by installing a new redundant 144/24
fiber optic cable installed aerially over a 12-mile section along both sides of
the right-of-way and associated backbone network deployment.

Consistent with phases 1 and 2, Phase 3 involves the extension of the network
infrastructure upgrade. Installation of new fiber optic cable over the SAGA
Bridge presents unique challenges to the construction of this project. A
monitoring room at the CCO shop in New Haven and a node house at East Norwalk
Station are also being constructed.
