Philippines selects Hytera for TETRA upgrade

Hytera has completed the construction of a digital TETRA network for the Philippine National Railways (PNR).

The PNR railway system spans 78 kilometres and serves countless passengers daily across 15 train crossings and 17 stations, making it one of the Philippines’ most used public transportation. In 2020, under the ‘Build, Build, Build’ program of the Philippine government, the PNR were geared up for digitalisation and computerisation of its system. Hytera was chosen as a supplier for its TETRA system featuring modifiability, expandability and system availability.

The Hytera Mobilfunk TETRA digital radio system deployed in this project features intelligent redundancy and resilience characteristics, providing the PNR minimal external disruptions during communications and operations. In addition, the Hytera Mini Professional Unified Communication solution offers a network management system for administrative tasks to be centralised and handled seamlessly from one headquarters.

This project is expected to improve the service level of the PNR through faster coordination among personnel in the yard, the train drivers and the maintenance group.
