Lilee Systems has announced that its systems have been adopted by five of seven U.S. Class I railroads. Lilee Systems has added at least one new Class I railroad to its customer base annually over the past three years, contributing to Lilee’s Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 252 percent since 2011 and a 71 percent growth in sales for 2015 over 2014.
“Our Class I rail customers depend on reliable technologies and responsive customer service,” said Jia-Ru Li, founder and CEO, Lilee Systems. “We are proud to be supporting our customers deploying the next phase of safety and communications technologies based on the emerging Industrial Internet of Things.”
For railroads, always-on connectivity is a prerequisite for modern safety operations. Lilee’s innovative rail offerings address two key areas:
M2M Network Communication Solutions
Lilee’s machine-to-machine (M2M) communications hardware and software connects thousands of signaling and communications components, including trackside, onboard, and back office. Lilee’s system continuously communicates critical information for Positive Train Control (PTC) across wireless and wired networks.
System Management Solutions
Lilee’s systems management software enables railroads to remotely monitor, control, and perform diagnostics to communications equipment – without the physical presence of a field operations crew, significantly reducing operational costs and improving performance.
