The project is also expected to reduce traffic congestion in the Greater Kuala Lumpur metropolitan area.

Motorola Solutions Malaysia country president Datuk Mohd Rauf Nasir said: “Throughout the project’s four-year construction and into its daily operational use, our communication network will provide security, safety and convenience for workers and users of the urban transportation system.”

Nasir further added that the metro rail project is set to be the first of its kind to be managed by the company’s Malaysia-based engineering team from end-to-end.

The construction of public rail infrastructure forms an important part of Malaysia’s economic development programme for the Kuala Lumpur and Klang Valley area.

In addition, two further MRT lines have been proposed under the Klang Valley MRT project.
