ROTEK in conjunction with FREQUENTIS has commissioned GSM-R dispatching subsystem for Moscow Ring Railway
ROTEK Company in partnership with Frequentis has completed a project of equipping the Moscow Ring Railway (MRR) with dispatch communication equipment of GSM-R standard.
By the order of JSC Russian Railways ROTEK performed a full cycle of integration and commissioning of dispatch communication equipment, which is a good example of a successful localisation technologies in Russia in cooperation with major foreign counterparts.
25 DICORA dispatcher terminals were brought in operation; FTS-3020 central switching nodes were expanded and upgraded to version 4.1 along with DIVOS 3 log voice recording systems. Based on the Frequentis IP voice communication technology, Rotek upgraded the already deployed systems and connected it to the infrastructure and terminals of the Moscow Ring Railway. GSM-R functionalities are now available for both and this increases flexibility, reduces costs, and supports further extensions including additional Russian Railway lines as well as the implementation of new features in the future.
Also within MRR project ROTEK Company has supplied more than 700 GSM-R portable stations and 1,200 specifically designed SIM-cards for use in portable and locomotive radio stations, which are installed in high-speed trains “Lastochka” of MRR. JSC Russian Railways employees have been trained. Train traffic was officially launched on Moscow Ring Railway on September 10.
“This deployment is a new achievement in our cooperation with Russian Railways and our local partner Rotek. This project shows the trust in our expertise experienced during the Olympic Games in Sochi in February 2014. We are proud to be part of this prestigious infrastructure project of Russian Railways, which will serve to reduce the load on the Moscow subway network”, added Thomas Karl, Director Public Transport at Frequentis.
