Zetron, a global leader in integrated mission critical communications technology, today announced it has won a five-year contract from Queensland Rail to design, install, and provide ongoing support for a fully integrated voice recording solution. As part of this new contract, Zetron will deploy two Eventide NexLog 840DX voice recorders at each of the three Queensland Rail Network Control Centre locations, and a single NexLog 740 DX logger at one of these locations. The system has been commissioned to record all Queensland Rail communications pertaining to the movement of trains, maintenance of track, and security related matters.

In addition to integrating with Zetron’s ACOM Command & Control platform, the logging system also works directly with Queensland Rail’s existing Tait Communications Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) system and its legacy analogue radios to provide complete coverage across Queensland Rail’s vast communications network. The new logging solution will be integrated with Zetron’s ACOM Command & Control system, which has played an essential role for nearly 20 years in Queensland Rail’s centralised and distributed communications across the 6,600 kilometres of track and related infrastructure it owns, operates and maintains.
