Motorola bags communication deal for Mumbai, Delhi Metro

Global telecom major Motorola today said it has bagged contracts from the Delhi Airport Metro Express Link and the Mumbai Metro for rolling out digital radio communication platform across their rail networks.

Both have chosen Motorola's TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) digital radio communication platform to ensure mission-critical communication across their rail networks, Motorola said in a statement.

The size of the orders, however, was not disclosed.

The company has won similar contracts for Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad International airports as well as for the Delhi Metro project, it added.

Under the contracts, Motorola will supply its scalable Dimetra IP system, which will enable secure and seamless communications essential for ensuring passenger safety and security and is capable of full interoperability across multiple user segments.

"With over 500 digital mission-critical networks successfully rolled out worldwide, including major strategic projects in India, we are very pleased to be bringing in our global learning to meet the stringent standards of these two metro projects in India," Motorola India Director Sales and Country Head Enterprise Mobility Solutions Subodh Vardhan said.
