ErvoCom has been awarded the contract to equip Stadler Rail's new rail vehicles for Ferrovie Autolinee regionali Ticinesi SA with a dynamic passenger information system. The scope of supply includes train radio systems, PIS audio systems (PAN) as well as the visual passenger information system including connection to the Customer System platform (CUS), so that customers are provided with real-time timetable data at all times. The eight new trains will be used between the Locarno (CH) and Domodossola (IT) lines.

Train manufacturers and operators are always struggling with limited space in the driver's cab, as the same audio equipment is often installed for different systems, such as train radio and passenger information. Furthermore, the multiple microphones are not very user-friendly for the train driver to be able to manage the different operations of the subsystems. For this reason, ErvoCom is launching the railway audio splitter ASP23 which is an active microphone amplifier that splits the audio signal between two different subsystems on the train. This leads to a halving of the number of microphones required. In contrast to passive splitters, the audio signal is actively amplified and galvanically isolated.

After the emergency intercom terminals FGSS2197 and HRSS2197 became best sellers within a very short time and usage at numerous mainline railroads (such as SBB), ErvoCom has launched a new intercom terminal unit for light rail and metro vehicles. The PICO22 impresses with its slim design and enables digital voice communication (full duplex) via VoIP-SIP with outstanding voice quality thanks to integrated echo cancellation and noise suppression. The emergency intercom units are available both for system partners for the purpose of integration into a customer owned system solution and as part of ErvoCom’s own PIS audio solution PAN.

Shaping the future of mobile communications in rail transport is a task that can only be mastered jointly. The ETSI MCX Plugtests are an important determination of where we stand on the way to the GSM-R successor technology FRMCS.

In cooperation with Frequentis and Nemergent, ErvoCom participated in the Observer Demo. More than 20 test cases were demonstrated with the ErvoCom train radio system, whereby a large part of the FRMCS voice functionalities could already be shown. The test took place over LTE base stations from Nokia this year. We would like to express our special thanks to Frequentis and Nemergent, with whom we were able to perform a successful end-to-end demonstration.

Many rail operators are struggling with the challenge that the state of radio technology is advancing much faster than the replacement of rolling stock. ErvoCom offers the customer a remedy by developing innovative dual-mode train radios that will cover both, analog radio technologies as well as the latest 4G/5G broadband-technology based on MCx (part of the FRMCS standardization). In order to be able to optimally manage the migration between old and new radio technology, Baselland Transport AG (BLT) has decided to equip the 25 new Stadler TINA vehicles with this train radio solution from ErvoCom. The solution offers the customer the best possible investment protection by providing all preconditions to migrate gradually from the old to the new technology in the future.
