Czech Republic railway infrastructure manager SŽDC has awarded 81 Kapsch CarrierCom a further project worth around US$17 million to install state of the art GSM-R technology on the 185 kilometre third rail transit corridor in the country. The project is due to be completed by autumn 2016.
Kapsch has already successfully implemented this technology in the Czech Republic on several sections of rail lines. The new line connects Prague with the West-Bohemian cities and ends at the German border.
Kapsch will be implementing a high-performance GSM-R network using 3GPP Release 4 core technology including all base stations. The solution has been designed to be completely geo-redundant and will be founded on a scalable, high-capacity architecture with high functionality and availability.
“The Czech Republic is an important transit country for intra-European rail travel and this particular sector completes the West-East transit route from the border to Prague. We’ve already completed several GSM-R projects in the Czech Republic and we are pleased that we have awarded next tender issued by SŽDC so we can contribute to a modern European railway infrastructure with the latest technologies,” commented Horst Kaufmann, head of Sales Railway CEE of Kapsch CarrierCom.
