Atlantik Elektronik GmbH - Professional Competence in GSM-R

Atlantik Elektronik GmbH enables many applications with wireless connection via GSM-R

Railway operators are investing significant budgets in rolling out GSM- infrastructure and upgrading its telecommunications systems. The main target is to improve the security, reliability and safety of railway operational services. Interoperability and compatibility are the key success factors.

Atlantik Elektronik offers a GSM-Rail GPRS Gateway with full TCP/IP and VPN functionality. The GSM-Rail gateway fulfils industrial requirements like an extended temperature range, worldwide approvals, long term availability and 5 year warranty.

The GSM-R Gateway enables many value-adding services:

- maintenance data to be transmitted to the depot in real-time to reduce idle time

- monitoring information from sensors along the tracks to be transmitted to a central management server

- providing travel information to passengers in railway stations and on board trains onboard ticket machines can serve enhanced efficiency and convenience

- providing tracking & tracing information to freight customers

GSM-R(ail) is a specially designed GSM wireless communication system adapted to meet the specific needs of railroad companies, and has been accepted as the standard railroad communications system throughout Europe. In addition to the standard GSM capabilities, GSM-R helps railroad operators to undertake specific tasks (guard/conductor to driver communication, shunting, cross boarder communication, instant communcations between train and station staff) on networks that may extend for thousand of miles and on trains that may be travelling at high speeds.
