Rail communication

TEDS, TETRA, DMR and analog core-connected in one platform, which is future-ready and easy to integrate with both existing and new systems.

Four technologies truly core-connected in one powerful platform – without any gateways or bridges. The DAMM MultiTech Platform solution unites TEDS, TETRA, DMR and analog into one platform so that you can improve productivity with a future-proof investment while also making it possible to get more channels without extra hardware.

DAMM MultiTech Platform is ideal to meet the challenges in the rail and metro industry. The MultiTech Platform enables you to:

• Meet the need for more data by using TEDS for train control or pushing data to the train information system, still within the same secure and independent communication platform.
  
  
• Reduce the number of base stations and extend track-side coverage utilizing VHF in remote areas and high power output. Options include 25W TETRA and/or 50W DMR.
• 
  Save installation and operation costs with a rugged, compact outdoor base station ideal for track-side installations. The BS422 is certified for track-side installation due to EN 50121-4 approval. The BS422 offers best-in-class power consumption, lowering operational costs, and enabling alternatives for energy supply, like solar power.
  
  
• Easily perform remote management with one application for all technologies. Full remote manageable base stations across technologies, in hybrid operation, eliminating the need for on-site service, and making it ideal for remote sites
• 
  Ensure improved tunnel coverage and improved node synchronization, eliminating the need for GPS coverage by utilizing IEEE 1588 for node synchronization. Alternatively use the simulcast option of the BS422; same network management platform, full output power and sensitivity.

DAMM solutions are built to be resilient. Take our outdoor base stations. These IP65-protected solutions are the only base stations certified to work alongside tracks.

DAMM decentralized systems have no single point of failure thanks to full redundancy throughout the network. This is vital, especially if the network is interfaced with your public announcement and passenger information systems and the train’s computer. It will not let you down in day-to-day operations. And it will not fail in cases of emergency. Even after years of service, it will never let you down. If one base station goes down, your operations retain full coverage.

Whether you are keeping the trains running on time or dispatching employees, you can rely on DAMM for uninterrupted communication. It empowers you with the speed and reliability you need to keep operations running smoothly

You can even send group messages to alert everyone with a need to know, including external parties such as ambulance or police services.

DAMM networks keep everyone, from the gound to trains, in sync. The decentralized DAMM design integrates TEDS, TETRA, DMR and analog into one platform. Furthermore, DAMM's built-in applications and compatibility with third-party equipment make it easy to adopt new software and integrate with other systems.

The truly decentralized architecture lets you use any radio terminal or TETRA over LTE/WiFi, giving you a high level of ​flexibility. You can also upgrade, add new subscribers, or move your system without shutting down the network – a crucial feature to operators, who cannot afford passenger service downtime.

The fully IP-based technology used by DAMM TetraFlex makes it possible to create integrated communications across multiple stations, logistics & maintenance facilities, depots and centralized operation control centres.

The fully redundant system can support any capacity, from small to large railway systems and metro infrastructures. All information is replicated to all sites, enabling uninterrupted call and data traffic if one or more sites lose connection with the rest of the network.

The flexibility of a DAMM solution also extends to the ability to use a combination of indoor and outdoor base stations. Furthermore, DAMM's outdoor system has gained EN 50121-4 certification, which will be available upon request.
