Railway communications specialist 81 Kapsch CarrierCom has been awarded the tender for two more Global System for Mobile Communications – Railway (GSM-R) projects in the Czech Republic. The company will install its state-of-the-art technology on the 200 kilometre Kolín – Havlíčkův Brod – Křižanov – Brno and the 110 kilometre Prague – Beroun – Králův Dvůr, Prague – Benešov and the Prague – Lysá nad Labem line over the next two years.
In both areas, Kapsch will be setting up the GSM-R core network that has been designed to be completely geo-redundant. The radio network along the routes will also be extended and modernised.
“The Czech Republic is an important transit country for intra-European rail travel. We are therefore all the more pleased that railway infrastructure administration SŽDC has again entrusted us with contributing to a modern European railway infrastructure with the latest technologies”, says Kari Kapsch, CEO of Kapsch CarrierCom.
