Manila Metro TETRA provided by Teltronic
A complete TETRA solution for the Manila Metro Rail Transit Line 7 in the Philippines will be provided by Teltronic.
The contract awarded by SMC will see Teltronic installing NEBULA TETRA infrastructure, RTP-603 onboard equipment, STP9000 hand-portable and SRG3900 fixed radios, and a CeCo-TRANS control centre.
The onboard equipment will be fully integrated with both the train control and management system — allowing remote vehicle monitoring from the control centre — and the public address and intercom systems, providing communication between passengers and control in emergency situations.
“By leveraging the power of TETRA technology, this end-to-end solution will enable SMC to communicate in a mission-critical way with the personnel involved with the operation of the MRT-7,” said Josep Jonch, business development manager – APAC at Teltronic.
“It will also allow real-time monitoring of vehicle and the location of the train, among other functionalities, making a vital contribution to the safe transportation of thousands of passengers each day.”
MRT-7 will serve around 350,000 passengers a day when operations begin in August 2019, potentially increasing to 800,000 per day upon completion of a series of planned upgrades. The 22.8 km, 14-station line will run north-east from an interchange with Line MRT-3 at North Avenue, serving Quezon City, Caloocan City and San Jose del Monte in Bulacan province.
