A consortium involving Alcatel-Lucent and Thales has been selected by the municipalities of Wuhan and Guangzhou in China to provide turnkey signaling solutions for metro projects. Alcatel-Lucent's and Thales's solutions will "help resolve traffic problems in the two cities while providing Wuhan and Guangzhou inhabitants with a faster, safer and more convenient travelling experience to and from the downtown area."

Wuhan Metro Group has selected the consortium to provide an end-to-end signaling solution for the Wuhan Metro Line 1 Phase II project. It follows the successful implementation of Phase I and is scheduled to be completed by June 2010. Phase II will extend Phase I to the East and the West by an additional 19.6 km and will cover 17 new stations.

Guangzhou Metro Corporation awarded the consortium a project which is 30.9 km long and includes 11 stations. It should be in commercial operation by October 2010. This award follows a signaling contract for the northern section of Metro Line 3, linking Guangzhou East railway station and Guangzhou Baiyun airport. First stations of Guangzhou Line 3 were put in commercial service at the end of 2005.

For both Wuhan and Guangzhou projects, local subsidiary Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell will be responsible for project management and network integration service, as well as maintenance of this multi-vendor solution. Thales will provide its industry-leading SelTrac Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) system.
