Banverket, the Swedish railway administration, is
improving its railnetwork management systemwith
technology from Nokia Siemens Networks.
It is deploying
Nokia Siemens Networks' @vantage commander element management
system as it upgrades its GSM-R (GSM-Railway) system.
With the upgrade, Banverket will achieve higher efficiency in
communication by the mapping of train telephone numbers to the
correct mobile station in real-time.
For example, the train controller can call a train number
without needing to know the locomotive or the engine driver's
telephone number.
Under a previous contract, Nokia Siemens Networks is delivering
all voice and data switching and radio network systems to
Banverket's GSM-R network.
"We have had a long and beneficial relationship with Nokia
Siemens Networks and are positive that this new solution will help
us further maximise operational efficiency", said Curt Cederholm,
technical manager for GSM-R at Banverket.
