Wireless and broadcast infrastructure specialist Radio Frequency Systems (RFS) has announced that its RadiaFlex line of radiating cables has been selected to provide in-tunnel wireless broadband coverage for the Dongguan Rail Transit R2 Line currently under construction in China. Once installed, the new wireless network will enable mission-critical and public wireless communications along the tunnels between New Dongguan Railway Station and Humen Railway Station.
As the main traffic channel for the economic corridor of west of Dongguan, the R2 Line is an important part of the Dongguan rail transportation system. When it is completed, it will serve as a key connection between Guangzhou-Shenzhen Railway, central urban areas, important economic centers in the southwest, and the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link. Construction on the first section of the R2 Line between New Dongguan Railway Station and Humen Railway Station was initiated in March 2010 and is scheduled for completion by 2015.
The RFS RadiaFlex suite of radiating cables is designed to provide wireless broadband coverage for confined areas. Each cable features RFS’ higher order mode suppression technique in radiating cable design. This design allows RFS to offer cables that support current and future indoor commercial and TETRA radio services from 698 MHz to 2700 MHz, including LTE. The broadband feature enables cables to work on different bands in one single coverage system, thereby supporting multiple carriers and multiple standards. For this application, RFS is providing its RadiaFlex Ray family and RLK family of radiating cable products and solutions.
The RFS RLKU158-50JFNA radiating cable will provide coverage for commercial communications in the R2 Line tunnel. With its wideband features, it can currently support GSM, CDMA, DCS and UMTS technologies, as well as LTE (4G) in the future. The wideband feature enables it to work in different frequency bands, allows one communication network to serve multiple standards and systems, and provides support for the networks of China’s three mobile telecom operators simultaneously.
In addition to products and services, RFS will also provide 24-hour project support services to the Dongguan Rail Transit Company.
