The installation forms part of a comprehensive project involving Morocco’s entire 1,923km rail network.
The project is expected to be take place over the next nine years and aims to ensure high-level reliable communications between trains, ground and train control centres.
As part of the contract terms, Thales will oversee the global management of the project and be responsible for the overall system design and system integration, including maintenance activities.
Consortium partner Imet will support in-site design and construction, while Huawei will provide its GSM-R digital radio system for operational train-to-ground communication, as well as equip the GSM-R network with its IP-based ATCAcore network and Distributed Base Stations.
