Softil’s BEEHD technology selected for MCC terminals in South Korea’s high-speed Incheon airport railway link

Softil and global solution provider K-Won Corporation today jointly announce that Softil’s award-winning BEEHD software development kit (SDK) has been selected to drive a new generation of K-Won 3GPP standard compliant mission-critical push-to-talk and push-to-video communication terminals for use in the Incheon Airport Railway Link. K-Won will build the terminals using LTE-R technology, a version of LTE designed specifically for the mission-critical operational and maintenance services of railway operators. The BEEHD framework is LTE-R compatible and will enable K-Won’s TRCP terminals to deliver stable voice, video and data communications on trains running at speeds of up to 400kmh. It also provides tracking train information and railroad guide to the engine driver.

LTE-R is the railway variant of the 3GPP MCC over LTE/5G (MCPTT) standard. What sets the railway variant norm apart from previous norms is that it enables video and voice communications and not just simply voice.
