Huawei selects Siemens Convergence Creator’s GSM-R for PRASA

5352-prasaHuawei has chosen Siemens Convergence Creators as its partner for the implementation of the Global System for Mobile Communication – Railway (GSM-R) project for the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA).
Huawei was awarded the contract to deploy the first GSM-R solution in Sub-Saharan Africa by the South African Railway operator in March 2013. The project will cover three independent regions of South Africa Gauteng, Durban and Cape Town and includes integration towards the existing MPT network.
GSM-R Dispatcher solution will enable PRASA’s control centres to manage field staff as well as assets through converged voice communication efficiently, simply and intuitively.
The GSM-R Voice Recording System will be used in a railway telephony system to record in a safe and redundant way the operational communication, especially between dispatchers, train staff and railway maintenance workers and shunters. This recording will be used later for liability matters and post-incident analysis in case of railway accidents.
