BEIJING, Oct 29, 2012 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hollysys Automation Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: HOLI) ("Hollysys" or the "Company"), a leading provider of automation and control technologies and applications in China, announced today that it signed a contract to provide the Line-side Electronic Unit (LEU) and Balise to Chongqing-Lichuan high-speed rail line. The contract is valued at approximately US $2.85 million or RMB 17.98 million.

LEU and Balise together is a portion of the ground-based high-speed rail signaling system. The ground-based signaling system normally includes Train Control Center (TCC), Temporary Speed Restriction Server (TSRS), LEU, Balise and other auxiliary equipments. The TCC and TSRS supplying contract will be in a separate bidding in the near term. The separate biding of the main portions of the ground-based signaling system is mainly because of the different funding sources by Ministry of Railways to construct this line.
