Already 2012, the current line, M1 was switched to TETRA from analog UHF system for being compatible to all railway communication system.  And two new lines, M2 and M3, will be completed until the end of 2013.
 
Full system will include all IP-MSO (Mobile Switch Office), 35 enhanced Base stations, over 1000 terminals (Mobile Radios, Portable Radios and Train Radios), Control Centre with Redundant Network Management Terminal, Voice Logging Server and Dispatchers, Redundant RF Coverage System.
 
The 410-430Mhz TETRA system extends across all three lines (M1, M2 and M3) covering 33 stations over 48 kilometers.
