Mumbai Metro, Delhi Airport Express Link opt for Motorola’s TETRA communication system

New Delhi: Motorola Inc announced today that Delhi Airport Metro Express Link and Mumbai Metro have both chosen Motorola's TETRA (terrestrial trunked radio) digital radio communication platform to ensure mission-critical communication across their rail networks.

In its first phase, the Mumbai metro line will transport six hundred thousand commuters per day and will provide the city of over 12 million people.
 
The Airport Metro Express Link is the new 22.7 km high-speed metro rail link connecting the heart of the capital city of New Delhi to the Indira Gandhi International Airport. The Delhi Airport Express Line project is scheduled for completion prior to the Commonwealth Games in 2010.

These contracts follow a series of other strategic contracts won by Motorola to provide mission-critical TETRA communication networks to Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad International airports as well as the prestigious Delhi Metro project.

Under the contracts Motorola will supply its scalable Dimetra IP system, an enhanced IP-based TETRA solution. Motorola's scalable Dimetra IP solution supports voice, messaging and mobile applications, including real time monitoring of trains, dynamic passenger information system and remote access to data over a single network.

Dimetra IP is highly flexible and scalable and can support voice, messaging and mobile applications, including remote access to data and data transmission over a single network.

The system will enable secure, always-on mobile voice and data channels, and is capable of full interoperability across multiple user segments to improve operational efficiency and achieve fail-safe seamless communications essential for ensuring passenger safety and security.
