Indra has installed and launched an advanced communications network to provide service for the largest integrated rail network in Argentina, which connects the city of Buenos Aires with urban and suburban towns in its metropolitan area.
The digital communications system, based on the Tetra standard, is a secure and robust system that guarantees the availability of communications by facilitating the transfer of voice and data with neither losses nor delays, both for usual rail operations as well as during emergency situations, in which commercial systems may fail or become saturated. This way, the new communications system improves the control and coordination of transportation and is key to guaranteeing passengers the best service and greatest security.
The system also facilitates the permanent localization of vehicles and operators through georeferencing signals of the communication terminals with which they are fitted. This way, this technology allows for counting with an exact overview of available resources at any given time and place, and facilitates decision-making and suitable responses in the face of any incidents. Furthermore, thanks to a communication recording system, the Indra solution contributes to investigating what actually happened in the event of an accident, for example.
