Rohill Shows Leadership on TETRA Communications in Latin America

Last week Kapsch CarrierCom, a global Rohill partner, announced the successful expansion of the Metrô Rio network with a TetraNode TETRA network for Line 4. Just in time for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, helping hundreds of thousands of sports fans reach their destinations quickly, safely and in comfort. 

Rohill Success in Brazil

For Rohill, delivering critical communications solutions to Metrô Rio and delivering TETRA in Brazil, was not just a coincidence. The technology company from The Netherlands already delivered a TetraNode TETRA network for Metrô Rio Line 1 and Line 2. and with the completion of the installation of Line 4, Rohill has covered all Metro lines of Metrô Rio and has become the main TETRA supplier providing critical communications to metro personnel.

The focus of Rohill on the Brazilian market seems to payoff. In the beginning of this year, Rohill also completed a FAT with success for Navy Brazil that wanted to upgrade and expand their current TetraNode network.

In order to accommodate its growth in Brazil and other countries in Latin America, Rohill also established an office in Alphaville S.Paulo.

TETRA for Public Transport

It is not the first time Rohill has sold its TetraNode to major Public Transport organizations. Already in 2014, Rohill was selected by Manila Light Rail Transit to provide TETRA communications for Line 2.

The company also was selected to deliver a TetraNode system to RET (Rotterdam Public Transport), STIB/MIVB (Brussels public transport company), Metro de Sevilla, Spain and several metro lines in Istanbul, that are operated by Istanbul Ulasim, connecting Istanbul on both sides of the Bosporus. 

It looks lke the cooperation with Kapsch, global specialist for railway safety systems, is paying off since both companies announced their partnership back in 2013.
