Nedaa to Support new Dubai Tram Network with TETRA
Served by 11 stations, the 10.6km network winds through the densely populated areas of Al Sufouh, Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Beach Residence while also serving Dubai Media City, Knowledge Village and Palm Jumeirah.
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, the Crown Prince of Dubai, launched the first phase of the Dh60 million Dubai Tram network last week Monday and was the first passenger to travel on the state-of-the-art transit system.
The red carpet was rolled out for other VIP guests at several of the 11 tram stations along the 10.6km route. The opening ceremony took place in a tented, air-conditioned area near Al Sufouh Tram depot where the inaugural tram rolled up.
The Sheikh rode on the first tram along with senior government officials, with two more trains in tow, for the inaugural run. Served by 11 stations, the 10.6km network winds through the densely populated areas of Al Sufouh, Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Beach Residence while also serving Dubai Media City, Knowledge Village and Palm Jumeirah.
Dubai Tram uses the TETRA services from Nedaa. This company provides telecommunication services to all specialised governmental, semi-governmental and private institutions in Dubai and operates the Dubai TETRA network, catering for 17,000 users with more than 100 TETRA base stations.
