Siemens Mobility, which has been awarded the project, has selected the Spanish company to deploy a private 4G network and equip the trains with its onboard solution for train-to-ground data transmission services.
The network will support the Level 2 ETCS signalling system and will be integrated with the Passenger Information System, public address system and CCTV. The communications infrastructure is 5G ready and could therefore evolve to 5G through a simple software upgrade..
Teltronic, a Spanish company with more than 50 years of experience in the critical communications sector, will be responsible for supplying the broadband communications network that will provide data transmission services for the two new lines of EFE Trenes de Chile, which will connect the capital city, Santiago de Chile, with the towns of Melipilla and Batuco, as part of the project awarded by the Chilean railway operator to Siemens Mobility for the implementation of the country’s first ETCS Level 2 system.
In this regard, Siemens Mobility has entrusted Teltronic with the deployment of a private 4G network that will provide coverage along the 87 kilometres of new railway lines. The system is 5G ready, meaning that it can evolve to 5G technology through a simple software upgrade. In addition, the infrastructure includes two control nodes, one primary and one redundant, to ensure system robustness.
