The three-year contract entails implementation of Wipro's BoundaryLess Data Center (BLDC) and LiVE Workspace solutions.
Wipro shares were trading flat on the BSE on Wednesday despite the company announcing it has acquired a Norway-based client. In Picture: Wipro campus is seen in Bengaluru June 23, 2009 (representational image).Reuters File
Bengaluru-based IT services company Wipro Limited has won a contract from NSB Group, one of Norway's largest transportation groups. The announcement on Wednesday did not have any impact on Wipro's shares as they were trading at Rs. 487.25 apiece, up 0.92 per cent.
The three-year agreement entails implementation of Wipro's BoundaryLess Datacenter (BLDC) and LiVE Workspace solutions and utilisation of its next-generation delivery framework ServiceNXT to deliver services, which will help NSB "variablise" their IT operations.
Oslo-based NSB has passenger transportation operations by way of rail and bus, freight by rail, property management and development, and train maintenance segments.
The Azim Premji-controlled company said that the project gives visibility to its presence in the Nordic region. "We are confident that Wipro's ServiceNXT framework offering will enable NSB to optimize, automate and manage its IT in an agile manner. Furthermore, this engagement reiterates our continued focus and investments in Norway and the Nordic region," Carl-Henrik Hallstrom, Head of the Nordic Region, Wipro, said in a statement.
The company would utilise its domain expertise extensively in the project, said another company executive.
"This is a prestigious engagement for us and we look forward to leveraging our transportation sector domain expertise, coupled with our deep infrastructure services capability and technology know-how," Srini Pallia, President - Consumer Business, Wipro Limited, said.
The NSB Group said that it foresees gains from the project. "This engagement is strategic to our business continuity operations and we believe that Wipro is the best partner for us. With our Data Center and End User Support enabled by Wipro, we can drive cost reduction and efficiencies, and most importantly, bring about joint innovations to serve our customers better," Trude Ostby Dahl, CIO, NSB Group said in the statement.

MIC Electronics gets patent for LED DigiPoster, bags order from Railways
V RISHI KUMAR
HYDERABAD, SEPT 7:
V RISHI KUMAR
HYDERABAD, SEPT 7:
MIC Electronics Ltd has announced it has secured a patent for its LED DigiPoster, which the company maintains is a next generation digital display technology for various applications across the world. The patent is valid up to the year 2028.
Digi-Poster or LED DigiPoster is an intelligent, integrated LED-based, robust and rugged display device meant for use in advertisements or information dissemination, either indoors or outdoors. The poster has several inherent advantages over existing methods and can display images that are loaded or altered locally or remotely, according to the company Managing Director, M.V. Ramana Rao.
The DigiPoster supports multiple pixel resolutions, including the virtual pixel concept using MIC’s patented scan-plus technology and multiple data/ image formats as well as displays live information. This can be deployed in fixed or mobile applications.
According to the company, the market potential for devices employing this technology is extremely large. A current example is the Indian Railways’ Railway Display Network (RDN) Project.
The company was one of three companies awarded a contract for supply of a new LED-based coach light fixture to the Indian Railways. This is the Railways initial foray into this type of lighting. While this initial order will furnish lights sufficient for 60 coaches, these type of fixtures will now become standard fittings in all new Railway caches and will also be used as retrofit devices in old running coaches. This has a potential market of more than 120,000 coaches for the Indian Railways alone.
MIC was the first company to be approved for this type of coach lighting by the Indian Railways, the company stated.

#Economy:The Govt has come out with guidelines to help sick and loss-making state-run enterprises dispose of their assets, including land, in a bid to expedite their shutdown.
#Finance:The mutual fund industry's assets under management rose to an all time high of Rs 15.6 lakh crore, at the end of August. This was helped by strong inflows into income, balanced and equity mutual fund scheme.
#Telecom Regulatory Authority of India has told India's top telcos and Reliance Jio Infocomm to resolve the contentious interconnect matter among themselves, but warned that it would act if quality of service drops and consumers suffer.
#Mera Bharat Mahaan:The country's leading private sector lender ICICI Bank has forayed into 'software robotics' - a first by any Indian bank. Over 200 software robots are now performing over 10 lakh transactions per day for the bank which comprises 10% of its total transactions. The bank will engage 500 software robots by the end of the year which will help it to automate 20% of its total transactions.

A soul twin to you anant ji?
Not really, but i have a bad habit of remembering locomotive road numbers. 22001 (then Ghaziabad) was power train (Agra Cantt. New Delhi Passenger) and that was my first journey behind a WAP 1 powered train.

2Nd. 22000 Also seems to be out.
The latest loco holdings http://elocos.railnet.gov.in/Holding/holding_09_16.pdf
Show that 1 WAP 1 is already stricken and 22001 is next.
There were talks of them being rebuilt to WAP 4, are they gonna get rebuilt or condemned?
But its been nearly 35 years since the first wap1 was built. They served us well.

Nah!
It was cheaper to build new WAP 4 but as i hear from CLW, that line is closed permanently and there are no contracts left for outsourced items of WAP 4 and WAG 7.
WAP 1 will almost all go in next 10 years.
i may be mistaken but i guess 2nd WAP 1 was 22002. 22000 was actually the third in series.

Superfast Talgo train to run from Delhi to Mumbai in 12 hours in final test run
By ECONOMICTIMES.COM | Sep 10, 2016, 04.13 PM IST

NEW DELHI: Can the superfast Spanish Talgo train slash travel time between Delhi and Mumbai by four hours? You will probably know by tomorrow.
The final trial run to determine if the Talgo train can achieve this feat was scheduled at 2.45pm from New Delhi station. The train is expected to reach Mumbai at 2.29 am early Sunday morning.
Talgo aims to deliver passengers at just under 12 hours to their destination. Currently, the superfast Rajdhani Express train takes around 16 hours between New Delhi and Mumbai. The train has nine super light-weight coaches, which it got from Spain in April.
In its penultimate trial run, the Talgo train reached Mumbai 18 minutes late.
The Talgo is seen as a boost to rail minister Suresh Prabhu's ambitious Mission 350 plan to decode possibilities of introducing ultra-high speed technology to run trains at a speed of 500 km per hour.
Prabhu has been pitching for faster movement of trains. "It is dream of the Railways to take not more than 12 hours to travel from one part of India to the other and idea is to enhance the average speed of all trains, so that everyone benefits," Prabhu said at a recent global meet.
In case of ultra high-speed technology, he said "Railways wants to develop it, implement it under Make in India to use it indigenously and to be able to export it also."
He said railways wants to reduce travel time by running high speed trains and was in favour of developing ultra high speed technology under Make in India programme.

Sir, I think talgo has fewer passenger coaches when compared to other Indian trains. Can it accommodate the same number of people as a rajdhani does ? and if we add more coaches to accommodate the difference wouldn't it take its toll on speed ?
