Seven of Australia's nine top railway operators rely on Zetron for critical communications
BRISBANE, Australia, Aug. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Zetron, a global leader in integrated mission critical communications technology, today announced it has won a five-year contract from Queensland Rail to design, install, and provide ongoing support for a fully integrated voice recording solution. As part of this new contract, Zetron will deploy two Eventide NexLog 840DX voice recorders at each of the three Queensland Rail Network Control Centre locations, and a single NexLog 740 DX logger at one of these locations. The system has been commissioned to record all Queensland Rail communications pertaining to the movement of trains, maintenance of track, and security related matters.
In addition to integrating with Zetron's ACOM Command & Control platform, the logging system also works directly with Queensland Rail's existing Tait Communications Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) system and its legacy analogue radios to provide complete coverage across Queensland Rail's vast communications network. The new logging solution will be integrated with Zetron's ACOM Command & Control system, which has played an essential role for nearly 20 years in Queensland Rail's centralised and distributed communications across the 6,600 kilometres of track and related infrastructure it owns, operates and maintains.
Neil Backer, Queensland Rail Executive General Manager SEQ Operations, said improving voice recording, logging and playback capabilities is a pivotal communication initiative.
"This new, fully integrated system taps directly into our existing communications platforms and will improve performance, administration and maintenance, while enabling us to meet our compliance requirements for long-term evidence-based recording," Mr. Backer said.
Founded in 1865, Queensland Rail has a proud history of connecting Queensland communities through a network that extends more than 6,600 kilometres across the state. Queensland Rail is committed to providing a customer-focused, safe, modern and world-class rail service for Queenslanders.
